Not all 'predictions' articles are actually predictions. Very often they reflect aspirations or intentions. I think this post from the Official Pearson Blog qualifies as one of these. Among the 'predictions':
- Continued Focus on Rigorous Learning Goals
- Increased Use of Data to Improve Individual Student Outcomes
- Emphasis on Ensuring That Students Are Not Just College-Ready, but Career-Ready as Well
These are predictions? Seriously? No, not hardly. They are things the company would like to see emphasized. These, in turn, map back to corporate marketing strategies and product lines. And a big part of that is standardized assessment so the company can make money off adaptive learning products. See here and here.
