Definition
- As in past decades, “What should I teach?” and “What do my students need to know and be able to do to become productive citizens?” are the questions being asked by the current generation of teachers and by policy reformers focused on enhancing the competitiveness of U.S. schools. Other questions include how all children can be educated to their full potential, and how schools should use higher standards to help students prepare for college and for a competitive global job market.
