"We live in a world of exponential
information growth and continual technological advancement. As a result,
schools need to shift from assessing passive memorization of facts to
promoting the ability to find and use information efficiently and
effectively. Students need to develop
lifelong reading skills, lifelong learning skills, and the
motivation to take responsibility for their own learning.
Information literacy and critical thinking are essential if students are to
live successfully in our rapidly changing, information oriented society.
Information literate students are effective users of information in a
variety of formats." PDE
"To exist is to change; to change is to mature; to mature is to create
oneself endlessly"

"Optimism means expecting the best, but confidence means knowing how to
handle the worst."
