9. Driving Forces

10. Defining Driving Forces What are the driving forces with current / potential impact on education? Are they supported by research-based evidence? Do they reflect major national or statewide policy priorities? What are the implications for Adult Education? “The driving force concept is the key to strategically managing major product and market choices that your organization must resolve. Driving forces are primary determiner(s) of the scope of future products and markets.” − Top Management Strategy Benjamin Tregoe and John Zimmerman, 1980 “The driving force concept is the key to strategically managing major product and market choices that your organization must resolve. Driving forces are primary determiner(s) of the scope of future products and markets.” − Top Management Strategy Benjamin Tregoe and John Zimmerman, 1980

11. Driving Forces Examples: Workforce Needs Drop-Out Crisis Literacy Crisis

12. Workforce Needs Large numbers of our nation’s adults do not demonstrate sufficient literacy and numeracy skills needed to fully participate in an increasingly competitive environment. − Reach Higher America 2008 Two thirds of the 2020 workforce is beyond the reach of our elementary and secondary schools. One in four adults with less than a high school education participate in any kind of education or training. − National Commission on Adult Literacy 2007 Between 2004 and 2014, 24 of the 30 fastest growing occupations will require workers with postsecondary education or training. − Reach Higher America 2008

13. Literacy Crisis About 2 million immigrants come to the U.S. each year. About 50 percent have low literacy levels and lack high school education and English language skills. − National Commission on Adult Literacy 2007 More than half of the 16- to 64-year-old Hispanic population in the U.S. is foreign-born. More than half of these immigrant Hispanics lack a high school diploma. − America’s Perfect Storm 2007 By 2030 the average levels of literacy and numeracy in the working- age population will have decreased by about 5 percent. − America’s Perfect Storm 2007

14. Drop Out Crisis In California, nearly 25% of high school students do not graduate. Dropouts earn only half as much annual income as high school graduates. Dropouts represent nearly half of the prison population. The likelihood of living in poverty is nearly three times higher for high school dropouts. − Zero Dropouts for California 2007
