Sparking Contemporary Learning

It's an exciting time to be an educator. Innovative schooling models and programs are sparking everywhere, and the lines between home, school, community and industry are blurring. We're seeing universities creating new admissions pathways, employers ditching degree and score requirements, and learners bypassing further education to implement their own entrepreneurial initiatives.

So how do we best prepare our students to excel in such a dynamic landscape? This workshop will equip educators with an understanding of contemporary teaching and learning, practices that best meet the needs of our learners. More importantly, it will highlight how schools can sustain and grow innovative practices vertically across PK-12 settings.
