What will our students need to know and be able to do to thrive in the future?

The future won’t look like this. Source: http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/today/jul30.html

Henry Ford at the White HouseSource: http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/today/jul30.html

The office and executive jobs he envisioned may no longer exist … or be in Michigan … or be plentiful enough for all of Michigan’s children.

We can’t predict our students’ future anymore.

But we can help them prepare for a life of change.

We school librarians want to be part of students’ learning journey. (Do others know that?)
