What will be the trends to watch in 2012?

Today a group at ECS brainstormed a list of the potential "big topics" in education policy in 2012. What do you think will be the major policy trends to watch next year? Feel free to share them in the "comments" section, or e-mail them to jdounay@ecs.org. And be sure to watch for an ECS report forecasting the big issues of 2012, to be released in early December.
