As a globally-interdependent society we have become, we really do have a lot to learn, and Mrs. Gates is right on the mark in challenging us to replicate success and achievement, tap into innovation, and do incredible marketing – lessons we should all embrace. This is especially important in education, where successes in the classroom lead to successes in the workforce and in life. We should be replicating highly-researched methodologies that have been proven effective in increasing literacy and language skills while infusing 21st Century skills in a whole generation of K-12 students in other countries. Academics have been fine-tuning the methodology for 20 years, and KBIP has been working with knowledge building technology, assessment tools and platforms for a decade with wild success. These tools are readily available and quite inexpensive, especially compared with the costs to society, to industry and to individuals when we don´t prepare our students with the skills they need to succeed.
