The Big Picture

• U.S. Education VS. The World• How do we rank?• Globalized competitive world• Must start paying attention• “ADAPT OR DIE!”

Why Am I Saying This?

• Settling for a “C” • Those days are over• “The Death of Average!”• The world is outpacing us• They are in school all year long• US students are in school the least

compared to other education systems around the world

Why Am I Saying This?

• What can you do?• If teacher asks for 5-8 sentences

per paragraph• You hand in 10-16 sentences per

paragraph • Math problem study• Malcolm Gladwell-Asian students

VS. US students

Reading= Big $

• The more a person reads growing up the more knowledgeable they are

• More you read = Better grades• Better grades = Better College• Better College = Better Job• Better Job = More $• More $ = More freedom

XIP Reading Project

• Two Parts– Part One– Read on your own

•Select any book you wish•Mr. Wilno approves•Read in silence!

– Part Two– work on assignments due for Applied Tech

XIP Reading

• Grading - Based on Productivity– We meet 5 times in MP– Each class counts for 20 points

•10 points for reading •10 points for

– 5 classes X 20 points = 100– 10% of total grade
