7.7: 21st Century Training

Train students for 21st century job skills.

Other Information:

We need to train students for 21st century job skills. In some cases, this means instruction for the jobs of tomorrow which may not even exist today. We should encourage instruction in data analytics, data visualization, mapping, video game design, computer science, programming, math, engineering, artificial intelligence, and machine-to-machine communications because these fields are in short supply currently and likely to be vital for the future. Robotics and additive manufacturing technologies are now affordable enough to be available in many districts. They represent an engaging, hands-on learning experience for students in a variety of age ranges. Many states forbid the meeting of science and math requirements through computer science classes even though programming skills are desperately needed in many different industries.
