Mission 2013 # 29 The Future of Education

We made a decision last year to publish all of our materials, books and training manuals online. We minister internationally and our materials must be available internationally. The book in green above is Listening in Russian. We also decided to join with Randy Clark and put our classes into his Global Awakening Class system and train people how to set up Teleios Centers around the world. Until recently we went the route of traditional paper publishing. That approach is dead for small fry like us. The story below tells why the traditional school models are dying.

Education adapts to changing student needs By Karen Herzog of the Journal Sentinel Feb. 8, 2013 Madison - Stereotypical college students who live in dorms and go home for the occasional weekend no longer are the main driver of changes in higher education, one of the nation's top education experts told the University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents on Friday. Working adults trying to finish a college degree started years ago, or wanting to gain another degree to either advance in the workplace or reinvent themselves, will push universities to find new ways to deliver an education, said Molly Corbett Broad, president of the American Council on Education. They're the new majority of college students. They have no desire to live on a college campus. And they juggle too many other demands between jobs and families to take classes on a set schedule, Broad said. While 15% of the nation's undergrads attend four-year colleges and live on campuses, 43% attend two-year colleges, 37% are enrolled part time, 38% are older than 25, and 25% are older than 30.  "I think we are experiencing a confluence of forces of change, the likes of which I have not experienced in my lifetime," Broad said.

	Now you can go to the Sweeten Life web page and get over 40 video tapes on You Tube and Vimeo. They are all free. We also have some training manuals and books and self-assessments that we charge for but they are in a pdf. format that can be downloaded and printed out. Since we have dynamic ministries all over the planet it is impossible to distribute paper books. Besides, it is less expensive to produce and almost everybody has a computer these days. We are adding to the list of titles almost monthly so go and take a look to see what we have.
