Don’t Put the Genie Back in the Bottle!

 Participants will converse with panelists from a variety of roles in education, and will take away actionable strategies for addressing a mission-driven challenge of, “How will we create equity, access, and opportunity for every child?" We’ll explore with you what we should keep, toss, reimagine, or create to accomplish such a mission. Recently, boundaries of school and home have blurred and we've seen examples of the best of what flexible learning can be - independent and interdependent, place-based and virtual, connected and collaborative, communicative and deep, engaging and adaptive. We are experiencing this real-life simulation to build an educational system from scratch- it hasn't all gone well but we are learning as we live it. Our team, connected together through Next Gen Leadership, will dig in with you to explore actions grounded in core values of empathy and equity that can help us build a learner-centered future for young people in all of our communities.
