Questions School Leaders and Policymakers Should Ask

• How do we adapt our school curriculum to incorporate more real–world problem–solving that takes advantage of the power of technology?

• How can educators and business people work together to enrich a curriculum that will give all students opportunities in tomorrow’s workforce?

• Are our teachers implementing project–based instruction that engages real–world problems, and are they supporting the use of technology as a tool in solving problems?

• Are school goals aligned with community goals for economic development?

• What job skills are required in the school district’s community, and how do they relate to the curriculum?

• How will students’ technological skills impact the economic development of the community?
