    Education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics needs to be strengthened. Our colleges and universities are not graduating enough students with strong science degrees, computer science or otherwise. Graduates with the right kinds of backgrounds for data scientist – computer science, statistics, machine learning – are coming out of the universities, but they are not coming out in sufficient numbers. As a result, firms are struggling to hire full-time or contract staff for IT and engineering positions. In working with IT staffing agencies, I know it's important to know their true professional goals. Help them achieve their growth goals and help them establish a career growth path.

    If you are interested in 21st century learning, you might want to take a look at my new book, "Teaching for Lifelong Learning: How to Prepare Students for a Changing World" (Solution Tree Press, 2021). I will also be sharing blogposts from time to time that focus on how to build a school culture, goals, instructional framework, assessments, and curriculum to support 21st century learning.
