It is time to transform education?

I know what you're thinking...

Why transform today's education system?

Why fix what isn't broken?

Isn't what we have good enough?

The fact is that our education systemfails students...

...and it fails employers.

So what do we do?

Let's start with an Accreditation Agencyproviding learning objectives/requirements

(LOs) to our hypothetical educational institution.

The institution then provides those sameLOs to the student through academic advisors.

The student then designs and implements projectsto meet the LOs under the guidance of institutional

advisors and industry experts.

Industry Experts play an essential role in this model. Not only do they provide students with advice on what to specialize in...

...but they also interview students at predetermined milestones as a counter to

academic dishonesty.

These interviews are recorded, summarized by the Interviewing Expert, and stored, to be provided to potential employers upon request.

This model allowsstudents to specializein what interests them,to move at their ownpace, and to displaytheir...

...character qualities, thecharacteristics that determine

culture fit and that nostandardized test can

determine.

If you have questions, concerns, complaints... any feedback at all really, please contact me.
