got together i mean your council the scientific council what was the first discussion about what was the main subject what was the main burning question if there was one who was to decide what is the role of the council the challenge first of all is to decide how the council will relate to the project as a whole that in turn requires understanding of what form the project may take none of that is yet decided the challenge before us is to devise a plan that works there are just there is justifiable skepticism as there would be of anything of a new and as yet undefined nature and it is our responsibility to take all the the critical comment that has been made to heart and take advantage in order to formulate a successful plan you don't sound skeptical along. i think because i have lived my life engaged in such high risk activity that is the nature of science of course it's frightening and of course one can get it wrong and in fact i've often gotten it wrong. but getting it right even once or occasionally is the reward in a case like this i think that we have a good chance of getting it

scientific community disagrees. here's just a small sample of the meteorological society, "human activities are a major contributor to climate change." the national research counciluman activities." the geological society of america, "human activities account for most of the warming since the middle 1900s." nevertheless, steve deucy and not steve deucy have their own set of facts. >> clearly nickelodeon is pushing a global warming agenda. the big question is is it manmade or is it just one of those gigantic climactic, you know, phases? the science on both sides, there are a lot of scientists who say it's this. others say it's that. >> right. it's unproven science. and again, this is a public education system that we all pay our tax dollars for. and the spongebob book says it's a manmade problem that requires human intervention. >> they're presenting it as fact. >> as fact. >> facts aside, miss carlson admits that her main issue with the cartoon's titular character is its intricate plotline. >> my kids watch a lot of tv but anytime they choose that show i'm like, why? it's hard to even follow sometimes. >> joining me now is eric burns, democratic strategist and fo

. >> i am from the council of scientific society presidents. if he were to picture the future, what are the best outcomes, what would be the best measure of outcomes you could put forth, realizing that they become the drivers of what happens when you do that? how much would you focus on creative ideas? how much would you focus on problem-solving, critical thinking, and so forth? what would be the outcomes you would really try to measure to try the system forward in the best possible way? what's great question. i was so good, i need a minute to think about that one. >> that is what i call the deeper learning skills. developing a whole new set of performance assessments back, some of which is currently under way i get a formative stage, in the development of the common court standards. -- common core standards. the assessments and being developed by the consortiums only began to try and reach that. being able to measure that kind of performance. i think we are much better able to measure that kind of performance and digitally because now you have

[laughter] those are what i call the deeper learning skills. joining the core content knowledge that is so important creative thinking, the critical thinking, the ability to collaborate, communicate and self-directed learning. it is developing a whole new set of performance assessments, some of which is currently under way in a formative stage, not in a sense of testing, but in being formed, in the development of the common core standards, which 44 states have adopted in the district of co

>> my name is martin apple from the council of scientific society presidents. if you were to picture in the future or even presently, what would be the best outcomes, what would be the best measures of outcomes that you could put forth, realizing that they become the drivers of what happens when you do that, how much will you focus on creative ideas, how much would you focus on problem solving, critical thinking and so forth. what would be the outcomes you would really try to measure to drive the system forward in the best possible way? >> that's a great question. >> and you're giving it right to me. >> yes. >> those on outcomes, those are what i call the deeper learning skills, it's what you take -- it's joining the core content knowledge that's so important to the creative thinking, the critical thinking, the ability to collaborate, community and self-direct learning. so it's developing a whole new set of performance assessments that is some of which is currently underway in a formative stage, not formative in the sense of testing, but in being formed, in the
