2.  Shortage of academic professionals  University graduates do not think or behave like professionals  Display an interest and talent for theoretical training

3.  New missions  New approaches  New types  New patterns  New leadership

4.  The traditional education model is more than 200 years  The system continues over 200 years ago … create another employee

5. Can you think of any other industry today with the potential to remain in business 200+ years in the future without adapting adequately to change?

6.  To capitalize on potential growth and development  An increasing number of minimally educated people who would voluntarily:

7.  Be in a certain place at a certain time every day,  Remain in that place for eight, ten or perhaps 12 or more hours a day each and every day,

8.  Perform rote and routine tasks (many of which were agonizingly repetitive), and  Perform these rote tasks day-in and day-out without questions.

9.  That if the goal was to provide a steady stream of people ready and willing to perform routinely and habitually, then education was clearly the solution

10.  Rebellion against “irrelevance” in the curriculum  Narrow professional assumptions

11.  We continue to crank out thousands of future employees each and every year.  This same education model remains in effect to this day.  No desire to see beyond 30-40+ years of ‘earning a pay-check’.

12.  “If a farmer accustomed to working the ground with hoe and the spade spent his life working without thinking, he would never have thought about improving his tools.”  - Tsunesaboro Makiguchi (1930)

13.  We need not necessarily rely upon a single path to get us from points A and B – a single model for educating and preparing students of all ages for the future … for life.

14.  The education and training needs specific to men and women who are and would like:  To become self-employed, or  Who might want to become employers, or  Entrepreneurs
