Educating the Army of 2010: A Strategic Plan
Abstract
my purpose in this project is to show the current status of public education in America, and how the quality of that education will determine the quality of our recruits in the 21st century. I have focused on the year 2010 in order to provide a target data for the future by which the goals of the education strategy could be obtained. In order to project a probable scenario for 2010, I have used emerging trends at both the national and international levels. My list of the competencies and personal skills needed to cope with the projected future is based on an analysis of that scenario, on the reports cited, and on my own observations after fifteen years of teaching in the public school classrooms. In the strategy explanation, I have used the research on teaching and learning to identify specific actions available to each of us in America as we choose to get involved. I've included several implications for the U. S. Army in the conclusions, with recommendations for how the U.S. Army can become more directly involved in public education as a way of improving the training of its future recruits.
