When we analyze the U.S. education system and classrooms across our nation, we see dramatic differences and gaps in innovation. Side-by-side images of classrooms from 1920 and 2020 yield eerie similarities in many schools today, even with the 100-year difference. What can be done? How can schools and classrooms transform from those from the industrial era where desks are in rows, students are facing forward, and teachers are front and center to ones that are learner-centered, are personalized, and leverage the power of technology? Districts and schools across the nation are transforming into ones that are future-ready, revamping such aspects as teacher empowerment, personalized professional learning, innovative learning spaces, community partnerships, and digital learning initiatives, among others. This session will inspire school leaders and provide free tools and resources to empower them to transform their districts, schools, and classrooms into ones that better prepare students for the world they face tomorrow.
