In an interesting article I read for this week, it chronicles the how the military teaches soldiers, specifically high-school graduate-age students of various intellectual backgrounds to successfully utilize and repair advanced avionic computers and million-dollar nuclear submarines. This article looked at the National Association of State Boards of Education's (NASBE) report on how the U.S. Military teaches and trains its soldiers and students (ala JROTC and ROTC) on the math, science, and technology curriculum needed to operate the advanced military tech that is being used in the defense of our nation. I found it especially interesting that the military model utilizes technology that can assess a student's performance so that the teacher can adjust their curriculum or teaching methods to better fit the preferences of individual students.
