17. Massachusetts Creativity The Readiness Project: Education as Our Competitive Edge Commencement Address by Governor Deval Patrick UMass Boston -- June 1, 2007 So, right here, right now, I am committing this administration for the next ten years to a statewide and sustained effort to change fundamentally the way we think about and deliver public education, to get ready for our future.
18. Massachusetts Abundance Being ready means public education that is about the whole child , not just success on a single standardized test . Education that fosters creativity of every sort, and that develops the ability to apply those kinds of problem solving skills to a range of challenges.
19. Massachusetts Interdependence Being ready means restoring esteem for learning and creativity , not just as the province of the privileged, but as the expectation for all. A decade of hard work, focus, discipline and accountability. A decade of “no excuses” leadership on education. A decade to get ready – so that we can master our own future. That is what I commit to you . Join me.
