Yesterday at the 2011 Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the latest blue-ribbon panel released "Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education -- A Call to Action". It is the latest in a series of documents calling for major reform in science education with a particular emphasis on themes and competencies that form a relevant structure for learning and living in the 21st century. I obviously picked up more than just my copy for distribution among stakeholders at George Mason University. It also complements the ultimate article series I'm developing on "The Competency Manifesto" (QR code enclosed).
