Why Cadre

Education is undoubtedly in the midst of a paradigm shift in the 21st century. Moreover, the role of technology has permeated virtually every aspect of daily life. This transformation is exciting because technology will serve as the defining catalyst for transitioning from the 19th Century Factory Model of Education to a 21st Century Innovative Model. In the digital age, international competition and collaboration are becoming the norm. Consequently, the roles of students and practitioners now play upon the world stage and have expanded beyond their localities to the global community. As a result, Cadre Learning is dedicated to establishing a firm foundation for schools, practitioners, and students alike as they embrace a contemporary mindset; contributing to and shaping the world in which they reside.  For the first time in history, younger generations have the ability to impact the course of events via social media and web-based technologies. Technology use in the educational process should parallel the pervasive role it plays in day-to-day life. Knowing exactly where to start can be difficult for many practitioners. Cadre Learning supports a general framework for implementing educational technology.  Cadre Learning empowers practitioners with web-based tools that blend their existing content knowledge and pedagogy, thus enabling students to transition from passive consumers to active contributors in the 21st century.
