IN THE SPRING OF 1964, THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS (AASA) APPOINTED A SPECIAL COMMISSION TO INVESTIGATE AND IDENTIFY MAJOR EDUCATIONAL IMPERATIVES. AFTER TWO YEARS OF STUDY, THE COMMISSION IDENTIFIED NINE IMPERATIVES IN EDUCATION--(1) TO MAKE URBAN LIFE REWARDING AND SATISFYING, (2) TO PREPARE PEOPLE FOR THE WORLD OF WORK, (3) TO DISCOVER AND NURTURE CREATIVE TALENT, (4) TO STRENGTHEN THE MORAL FABRIC OF SOCIETY, (5) TO DEAL CONSTRUCTIVELY WITH PSYCHOLOGICAL TENSIONS, (6) TO KEEP DEMOCRACY WORKING, (7) TO MAKE INTELLIGENT USE OF NATURAL RESOURCES, (8) TO MAKE THE BEST USE OF LEISURE TIME, AND (9) TO WORK WITH OTHER PEOPLES OF THE WORLD FOR HUMAN BETTERMENT. THESE IMPERATIVES ARE AREAS IN WHICH THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM MUST BE REVISED TO MEET CHANGING NEEDS.
