K-12 educators are facing an unprecedented mix of challenges. Among them: Math and reading scores have reached historic lows, and achievement gaps are growing. Students continue to struggle to connect school lessons with their practical needs. Investing more resources into the same approaches used for years—with mixed success—no longer seems viable.
Understandably, educators are often wary of the next new idea. But leading education experts urge innovation is critical to connect classroom learning with students’ future careers. In this webinar, they’ll share what that looks like in practice, including:
- Why fully researching new initiatives and measuring its effectiveness are so important
- How career-connected learning works in a traditional education environment
- How academic lessons can enlarge students’ social networks for future opportunities
