Next Education Workforce brings distinguished speakers to MLFTC
UPDATE: We’ve made the decision to cancel our convening, The Next Education Workforce: From Thought to Action, on April 22-24 in Scottsdale. We are disappointed that we will not have the opportunity to meet in person to advance the work of the Next Education Workforce. However, the work continues. We will soon be rolling out a flight of Next Education Workforce resources for schools, and we are speaking with the outstanding keynote speakers we had assembled for April about how we can bring some of their insight to you through online experiences in the coming weeks and months. There’s much we can do together between now and our next annual convening, which will be held virtually on January 27-29, 2021. Please save the date.
Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College is hosting its second annual two-day Next Education Workforce convening on April 23–24 at ASU SkySong. The workforce team works under the conviction If we’re not getting the workforce or the learning outcomes we want, we need to redesign the profession, the workplace and how we prepare people for both.
Topics at this year’s convening, From Thought to Action, will include:
-
How partner schools are implementing Next Education Workforce models
-
Research and deepening the research agenda
