{summary} Here is a Link to an interesting article in Education Week (you need to register to view - it’s free) that talks about the value and meaning (or lack thereof) of a high school diploma.  To me this is a perfect opportunity to integrate the WorkKeys Employment System from ACT.  This is a criterion referenced system that compares the skills of an individual to those needed for a job.  Some folks in the academic world still don’t like the idea of that..even though the message from business is still the same..."We need people with more skills...we don’t need people with upper level calculus, just better problem solving skills.” Oh well, read the article and form your own impression.  Next I’ll talk about the folks in Grand Rapids and their plan to use WorkKeys as the basis of their “Guaranteed Diploma”. http://www.learntime.com/index.php/63/
