In global, digital, distributed,
and complex settings, a
networked model of learning
and knowledge is critical.
Most disciplines in society
have become too specializedto function in isolation. Global
problems are too intractable
to be tackled by any structure
other than networks.

Today the Brain Science Program consists
of researchers in the cognitive sciences,
neuroscience, computer science, biology,
medicine, psychology, psychiatry, physics,and mathematics . . . The researchers are
not quite sure when something interesting
will happen, but if they keep talking, they
know that something eventually will.

We are witnessing a new way of working
developing before our eyes.
Today, breadth, cultural knowledge and
sensitivity, flexibility, the ability to continually
learn, grow and reinvent, technical skills, as
well as drive and passion, define the road to
success.

One of the most serious evils
of American education in
school and college is countingby courses.
Once a credit was earned, it was as
safe as anything in the world. It would
be deposited and indelibly recorded in
the registrars saving bank, while the
substance of the course could be, if one
wished, happily forgotten.
Dietrich Gerhard, 1937

We already know what works for
at-risk students.
Its clear and integrated academicprograms, supplemental
instruction and support, and
wraparound services.
We know that.
So then ifwe still have problems,
then thats an educator problem,
not a student problem.
