WI Education Convention

Closing Achievement and Opportunity Gaps in Exponential Times (Room WI Center 101 AB)

According to futurists, the world will change more in the next 12 years than it has in all of history combined – as today’s first graders are moving through the K-12 system. How do we prepare children for a world we haven't experienced and can't accurately predict? This session will: 1) examine research on board governance, leadership and achievement; 2) identify strategies for achieving a high-quality, child-centered, results-driven organization; 3) speak honestly about the status of achievement and opportunity gaps for our children; and 4) discuss the urgency of preparing EVERY child for the future.

(Session to be recorded.)
