A Nation at Risk and its effects
almost thirty years later

"We are raising a new

generation of Americans that
is scientifically and
technologically illiterate.”
 Classroom Activity
• I want to give everyone a quick Kolb quiz so
that they can each find out their learning type.
• I could discuss the differing viewpoints of A
Nation at Risk.
• I could weight the pros and cons of
controversial things in education such as the
new Mac Books or No Child Left Behind.
