AI is redefining the workforce of the future, and it’s time for education leaders to rethink what it means to be “ready”. Today’s students need deeper learning experiences and more opportunities for real-world, work-based learning. The solution? Modern learning goals, or portraits of a graduate.
Hear from Tom Vander Ark, CEO of Getting Smart, and other education leaders on August 6 at 8:00 am PST for a thought-provoking discussion sponsored by Kaplan. In this session, we’ll explore how school and district leaders can adapt to shifting expectations.
