We all have identified some alarming trends when it comes to students’ research and writing skills. The achievement gap continues to grow and students are still not prepared for college or their careers. Are teachers properly supported for the shifts in education standards? In this presentation we outline the one skill-set students will need for 2015 and how to prepare them so they can succeed in college as well as their careers.
