2. The Commission reported:
1. There was a widespread interest in the subject of
industrial education.
2. The lack of skilled workmen was not chiefly a want of
manual dexterity but a want of what what may be called
industrial intelligence.
3. There was a growing feeling of inadequacy of the
existing public school system to fully meet the needs of
modern industrial and social conditions. The schools were
too exclusively literary in their spirit, scope, and methods.
4. To the question of who should bear the expense of
technical education, the common answer was the state.
3. On June 7, 1905, Massachusetts Governor William
Douglas appointed a Commission on Industrial and Technical
Education that later became known as the Douglas
Commission. The Commission reported:
1. There was a widespread interest in the subject of industrial education.
2. The lack of skilled workmen was not chiefly a want of manual dexterity but a
want of what what may be called industrial intelligence.
3. There was a growing feeling of inadequacy of the existing public school system

When we face a challenge where people have to change, leadership’s role
is to engage the people with the problem to solve it for themselves—rather
than prescribing a solution from the top down.
15. Successful adaptive
changes build on the
past rather than
jettison it.
Organizational
adaptation occurs
through
experimentation.
Adaptation relies on
diversity.

30. Is there a labor market
shortage of STEM workers?
31. There are too many college educated,
experienced STEM workers who are
trying to find a job; there is not a
shortage of them (Economic Policy
Institute). However, current STEM job
categorization does not typically
include health and medical jobs or the
majority of middle and high skill jobs.

40. There are 29 million middle skill jobs.
Many of these jobs are wrongly classified
as middle skill jobs because they only
require a two year degree or or certificate
(Bettersworth, TSTC.edu).
42. America's labour market
Hollowing out
Jan 9th 2012, 14:50 by R.A. | WASHINGTON
The American workforce, by many accounts, has been
polarizing. Middle-skill jobs in manufacturing and
many business services have been disappearing thanks
to automation and international competition, but lowand high-skill employment is increasing. During the
recession and recovery… Highly skilled workers
have done best, low-skill workers have done poorly,
and those in middle-skill employment have done very,
very poorly, even as the job market has improved over
the past year.
43. International Trade and Polarization in the Labor Market
Satya P. Das Indian Statistical Institute, Delhi
In the last two decades a huge literature, both empirical and theoretical, has emerged on
the rising global trend of wage inequality since the 70s and the associated changes in
employment patterns. This has been attributed mainly to skill-biased technical change
(SBTC), but also significantly to freer international trade between developed and
developing countries. See, for instance, Bernard and Jensen (1997), Chapter 4 in Feenstra
(2004), Bivens (2007) and Krugman (2008), among many others.
Taking into account relatively more recent data, 1987-2004 for the U.S. and 1975-1995
for the U.K., a more specific – and an interesting – pattern of wage distribution and
employment has been discerned, compared to the earlier literature: namely, a continuing
positive trend of wage inequality in the top half of the distribution (for both U.S. and
U.K.), coupled with a slightly declining trend in the U.S. and a mildly positive trend in
the U.K. in the bottom half of the distribution. Furthermore, in both economies the shares
of high-wage as well as low-wage jobs have increased, while that of middle-wage jobs
has declined.
Goos and Manning has aptly depicted such a change in the employment pattern as a growth of
both “Lousy and Lovely Jobs.” It has also been termed as hollowing out or job polarization,
“with employment polarizing into high-wage and low-wage jobs at the expense of middle-skill
jobs” (taken from Autor et al., 2006).

44. • There is no standard workforce or education
definition of STEM in the U.S.
• Today, labor market shortages are for STEMbased skills across many jobs not typically
classified as STEM.
• A new approach to analysis is needed to identify
how social institutions such as employment are
changing as well as what skills give rise to
economic innovation.

81. • Automation (robotics) is having a significant impact
on the labor market by transforming the input to the
economy (input - artificial labor and artificial
intelligence). Robotics is deflationary but not
necessarily a high value job generator overall.
• The net effect of the adoption and diffusion of
technology is the transformation of social
institutions—including family, work, school, law, the
economy, and national defense.
• The changes in work, the economy and other social
institutions is so profound that it is difficult—if not
impossible— to understand these changes using
traditional measures.

106. • STEM is as fundamental to
education in the 21st Century
as the humanities and the arts
in the 20th Century.
107. When our predecessors stood
at the edge of the world and
gazed up at Sputnik in 1957,
they did not respond with a
narrow focus on technology
education or training.
General Robert F. McDermott,
Academic Dean, of the U.S. Air
Force Academy, founded the
new academy on the idea that
in a world of increasing
technological complexity,
education needs to increase
emphasis in both classical and
contemporary studies.

108. The key ingredient of 21st
century education is
innovation—the creation of
new knowledge, processes,
systems, and tools to meet
human need.
116. Tell me, and I forget

Let me do, and I understand
—After Confucius, China, 5th century BC
117. What is new in 21st century
education is the mainstreaming of
engineering, arts, and computer
science processes within the
academic context—integration of
practical and applied arts.

Students and teachers in classrooms around the globe will join in a worldwide initiative called Hour

computer science for educators and students alike. Thus far, some 28,000 groups plan to host
tutorials next week across 166 countries. Code.org created the free tutorial in collaboration with
engineers from Microsoft, Google, Twitter and Facebook. It uses puzzles featuring characters from
popular online games like “Angry Birds” to introduce students to coding concepts.

162. Classical Contemporary Education - Systems Innovation
•ADAPTIVE LEADERSHIP - Adaptive leadership is specifically about change that
enables the capacity to thrive—change led from the bottom up and the top down
simultaneously.
•INNOVATION LABORATORIES – Positioning challenges and opportunities from the
community (local and/or global) in the center of learning and education goals
through student- and teacher-driven innovation projects.
•CULTURE OF INNOVATION - Context and frame for learning is real world and
purpose driven incorporating failure as feedback to the learning process. A culture
of innovation is conducive to learning, improving, and adapting while fostering risk
taking. In this view, learning cannot be achieved without feedback as an integral
part of the learning loop.
•PRE-K TO PhD NETWORKS, SYSTEMS, & PATHWAYS - Sequenced, integrated and
transferable courses across K-12, Community College, University and the Adult
Continuing Education spectrum of lifelong learning.
163. Classical Contemporary Education - Pedagogical Innovation
INTEGRATED ACADEMIC & APPLIED PRACTICE -
•
STEM is used as a bridge to connect academic, arts, CTE, and health education;
•
Delivering integrated programs of study across disciplines (coherent course
sequences);
•
Integrating fine arts, performing arts, cultural arts, commercial arts, and
creativity as foundational to school culture and outcomes (not an add on);
•
Applying knowledge and skill-based learning through apprenticeship, expert
modeling, and project work;
•
Integrating disciplinary knowledge across subjects through innovation themes,
projects, and competitions; and,
•
Integrating professional development within and across faculty professional
development subjects/disciplines.
164. For Dr. Francis X.
“Duke” Kane
liberal education
and the arts are
part and parcel to
STEM education and the
cultivation of the
“creativeforce” we need for the
missions ahead. For Duke,
“creativity and collaboration”
were the two necessary
qualities to engender in the
education of what he
affectionately called the
“Speed of Light Generation.”
