| CONFERENCE 2009: 21st Century
Learning and Leading
Today’s students live in an increasingly complex, diverse, global, and media-saturated society. As educators, how should we think differently to prepare students for their world? What can we do differently in schools to guarantee our students will thrive in the future?
Questions like these will be explored on January 9-10, 2009 as teams from the Newport News community will be involved in the 2nd Annual International Conference: 21st Century Learning and Leading. Last year’s participants engaged in a global "think tank" around the topic of educating in and for the 21st Century. This year’s conference will expand that conversation to include preparing a multi-generational workforce for an undefined future. All conference participants will have the unique opportunity to interact with educators from around the globe in an effort to build international partnerships that will provide another forum to further conference conversations and explore possibilities for the future.
