When we analyze the US education system and classrooms across our nation, we see dramatic differences and gaps in innovation. Side-by-side images of classrooms from 1918 and one from 2018, yields eerie similarities in many schools today, even with the 100-year difference. What can be done? How can school districts transform from ones filled with teacher-centric classrooms of the industrial era to ones that are learner-centered, personalized, and leverage the power of technology? Schools across the nation are transforming into ones that are Future Ready, revamping such areas as curriculum, instruction, and assessment; personalized professional learning; innovative learning spaces; community partnerships, data and privacy, use of technology, etc. This session will support school leaders with free tools and resources to empower them to further transform their districts into ones that better prepare students for the world they face tomorrow.
