Having students take ownership of their learning and work ethic along with providing the critical thinking and creative problem solving skills will help prepare them for those jobs that have not been created yet - that they'll be expected to fill.

SMART Goals is a great tool to help guide planning. I'm glad Perkins is discussed along with CTSO's.

I have used summative assessments through scenario based projects. Designing backwards is a good way to stay on track and intentional.

Planning things out for alignment helps keep everyone on track for success and eliminates unnecessary tasks. I see the need for vertical alignment but like to see the synthesis of horizontal alignment throughout disciplines.
