JumpStart National Limerick Day (5/13/25)

QUOTE:  "Don't wish for less problems.  Wish for more skills." (Jim Rohn)

MESSAGE:  ​Each year, the World Economic Forum puts out the Future Jobs Report, highlighting job markets on the upswing in the next ten years.  Good news?  Secondary teachers are on there.  Otherwise, it’s interesting to note the amount of traditional education required by most of the ones on the list.  The other interesting bit of data they put out is the list of Top 10 Skills for each year.  Check out 2025 and ask yourself, “How many of these are SEL-related, and how many are content-related?”  And then, more importantly, ask, “How many of these are being INTENTIONALLY taught in schools?”

THIS WEEK TRY THIS:  ​As you’re winding down the year and making those preliminary plans for next year, maybe consider how you are going to ensure you really are preparing your students for the future.

​DAD JOKE:  I got an email from Google Earth saying that they can read maps backwards.  I figured it was just spam.
