This course will examine issues faced by schools and postsecondary education leaders associated with the preparation of students for educational advancement in a democratic society. This course was developed in response to growing educational concerns across the PK-16+ pipeline. The course is developed around three assumptions: 1) student academic progress is critical in optimizing individual talent in an increasingly knowledge-based society; 2) an important goal of the 21st century educational reform is to facilitate student preparedness for future academic and occupational success; and, 3) a more intentional alignment of the goals and emphases of K-12 education with postsecondary education should be considered a possible solution for educational reform.
