Ohio Department of Education State Board of Education

At its September 2009 meeting, the State Board of Education formally adopted the vision document entitled "Meeting the Challenges of the 21st Century: A Vision for Transforming PK-12 Education in Ohio."

The main theme of the vision is for all students to graduate from the PK-12 education system with the knowledge, skills and behaviors necessary to be well prepared for success. The State Board has identified four objectives to reach this vision:

1. Teaching 21^st century knowledge and skills for real-world success;
2. Effectively delivering support for a high quality education; and
3. Providing sufficient resources which are efficiently managed; and
4. Developing a statewide outreach and communication strategy on board policy and the importance of education in the 21st century.
