The issue we face is how do we properly implement this framework? How do we guarantee that we are creating graduates that are knowledgeable and resilient learners that are able to communicate, collaborate, and problem solve beyond the classroom?

It explores how standards and engaged learning go hand in hand along with child initiative and decision making and planning. The article goes into detail about how to integrate standards into engaged learning. I also thought it was great that the article discussed how engagement increases the ability for the brain to remember. When children are actively engaged in their own learning activities and environment, they are taking in more information, analyzing it, exploring it, storing it and practicing that content in their own learning style. Within the presentation, I found connections where it states how “state academic standards for kindergarten are becoming increasingly widespread.”

Nathan Wallace and Yuki Sasao’s moving articles about their personal growth with this changing of mindsets enforced what had already been instilled in me growing up. That when the world that surrounds you says that it's not in your skill set to succeed and that you should stay in your comfort zone, you need to push through to earn bigger and greater accomplishments.

There are many ways to define success and there are also many ways people view success in different ways. Individuals can achieve success while venturing down many different paths in life and (conversely) people can also fail in while following a single path to success.
