Minnesota's Promise is a call to action from Minnesotans throughout our state to transform public education. We must create a coherent system of education in Minnesota—from the capitol to the classroom—that prepares every student for success in the global Information Age.
Read on to explore our vision, including 10 Strategies for Creating a World-Class Educational System. Join the discussion of these ideas on www.learnmoremn.org. You can add your name as an ‘author’ and supporter of Minnesota’s Promise by using the form to the right.
Our hope is to spark a lively dialogue – and action - across Minnesota about the true possibilities for a world-class educational system in Minnesota. Together, we can help our great state secure its global economic, cultural, and intellectual standing.
The Promise Can be Kept
Can Minnesota achieve the goals of Minnesota’s Promise? Our answer as partners in Minnesota’s Promise is a resounding yes: we can make it happen. We believe that it is possible, particularly since Minnesota’s schools start this journey with many strengths and assets on which we can build.
American education today must change and adapt in response to the challenges of globalization, and no U.S. state is better prepared than Minnesota to lead the way. We hope that this report and the ongoing work that each of us will do to implement its ideas will result in the world-class schools that Minnesota needs to remain a world-class state in the global information age. |
