Transforming Education for the 21st Century – Local to Global
The capabilities required for success in the 21st century are different from those needed in previous generations. There is an urgent need for leaders to influence and support change in our current education systems to best help their student populations succeed in this century.
To support this effort, a coalition of thought leaders, policy-makers, consultants, and practitioners from several jurisdictions around the world has come together to design the Global Education Leaders’ Program, to develop in-depth, sustainable transformation practices beyond the simple exchange of ideas.
Strategic events provide structured, intensive, action-oriented, and reflective dialogues. An international virtual support structure and collaboration technologies provide access to expertise and resources. And an ongoing professional learning community allows participants to expand their activity within their local system and beyond.
