In the context of what you have heard and discussed, and looking to the future, how does the NEA maintain and increase its relevancy and effectiveness for our members?
What are the implications for how we work with various stakeholders and partners? (media, parents, community groups, decision makers etc.)

“Fifty years hence we may well conclude that there
was no ‘crisis in education’ in the closing of the 20th
century-- there was only a growing incongruence between the way 20th
century schools taught and the way 21st century
children learned.”-Peter Drucker
