The career and college aspirations of our entire 21st century student population are not being met in our current public education system. We need to refrain from focusing on ways to improve policies and practices already in existence, and pivot in a new direction. America's Educational Crossroads shares a reimagined education model aligned with the career and college aspirations of our current and future generations of students. Overcoming outdated barriers contributing to inequities that prevented the delivery quality education to all students can be achieved if we are willing to leap forward and catch up to the demands of our current century. The author was inspired by a desire bring the public's attention to innovative ideas she believes will be transformative for achieving a 21st century public education system that leaves no child behind.
