For this week’s DQ – and as we begin our educational journey – it is preferable to learn about education, its role in society, and its hopefully ambitions. With that, address the following:
· How would you define education?
· What is the role of education in society? How does education make a better, or worse, society?
· What is the “state” of the US educational system today? In essence, is our k-12 educational system working or not working? Include and cite relevant data to support your assertion.
· Finally, as a doctoral student/graduate, what 1-2 strategies would you recommend to make education “better? In other words, how is this education, and this degree, going to make our educational system better?
