21st Century Learning Symposium

 

An event for K–12 teachers, administrators, boards of education and business and community leaders 

 

The future of education

There is a growing sense of urgency among educators, parents, policy makers and the business community to provide students with skills that will enable them to compete with their peers internationally. These extend beyond the basics, to new knowledge and skills that prepare students for a digital economy. We must better understand the ever-evolving technologies and their impact on learners and learning if we are to give our students the skills they will need to succeed in the 21st century.
