E-School News – Matthew Strine
From the classroom to the district director level, and eventually my own desk in the principal’s office, I have served in many different roles in K-12 education. However, in the midst of my career, I left public education to spend 2 years in corporate America.

By working the corporate world, I’ve seen the connections between what is taught in the classroom and how that knowledge is applied in the workplace. Perhaps more importantly, I believe I have pinpointed five abilities all students need to develop before leaving K-12 schooling behind and moving into the world we call adulthood.
