Future Tends Affecting Education

Here's an interesting and informative little report on Future Tends Affecting Education, written by Dixie Griffin Good, a Denver-based education consultant with a background in future studies, for the Education Commission of the States. From the Executive Summary, "Education is not an island; it is affected not only by what is happening in the field but also by what is happening in the rest of society — population changes, technological advances, economic ups and downs, political shifts and social transformations. This paper examines ongoing and emerging trends and explores how these trends may affect education in the United States over the next 20-30 years." http://www.ecs.org/clearinghouse/13/27/1327.htm
