Vision 2015: Workforce Development Report
The March 28, 2012 forum was the third in a series of events as NCNSP reached out across the state and nation for input and recommendations to help it build its strategic plan, Vision 2015: Scaling Excellence in Public Education. NCNSP's mission is to accelerate systemic, sustainable innovation in secondary schools across the state, with the vision that every student in North Carolina graduates ready for college, careers and life. Following this and other input sessions, NCNSP's Board will finalize its three-year strategic plan, which will begin on July 1, 2012.
Throughout the forum, the message resonating throughout is that the future of both our country's security and our country's economy is linked to better student and teacher achievement. This message is underscored by a report that was released by the Council on Foreign Relations just one week earlier. That report, entitled U.S. Education Reform and National Security, warned that "Educational failure puts the United States' future economic prosperity, global position, and physical safety at risk."14 MAY 2012
