As they stand, however, these nine goals have never received general study, evaluation or approval. Inquiry groups have been asked to assess how well current resources support these goals. Members of Inquiry Group 9 worry that these goal statements may gain status and legitimacy simply by being used in the way they are this semester. While they are an attempt to represent a consensus from earlier discussion, we need to return to the task at some point of evaluating these nine goal statements. This should be clarified for each goal.

Pockets of supporting experiences currently exist for satisfying Goal 3, but not nearly enough for all students to satisfy it. English and foreign languages adequately support the development of effective reading, writing and oral communication skills. Current support is adequate. Current support is adequate.
