This “Systematic Approach for Effectiveness” (SAFE) project, 1983, was unveiled for use nationwide in 1983 as a result of the Reagan Administration’s Commission on Excellence in Education’s “A Nation At Risk” report.

OBE would become the “bypass the brain” method essential for the restructuring of education from academics to global work force training.
