Event

Nashville, TN: Connecting the Dots - Strategic Planning for Education

June 23, 2010
8:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.

SAVE THE DATE! 

Today’s education landscape is changing dramatically.  New external and internal forces are exerting a profound impact on the US education system, and today’s educators will need to plan strategically to meet these challenges.  Issues that today’s education system are facing include:

•    National demand for high skill workers
•    The changing market place –disappearing industries and preparing students for jobs that are not yet invented
•    A retiring population and the largest group of students in K12 since the baby boomers
•    Unprecedented fiscal pressure on state budgets
•    Managing the significant role of technology in schools while maintaining aging infrastructure

This roundtable event will further examine these issues and explore new ways to align educational strategic planning with economic development.  

You are invited to participate in roundtable discussions on topics such as:

•    Strategies for Funding Innovation
•    Break-Out School Model Strategies
•    Infrastructure Planning for Student Achievement 
•    Outside the School Walls Learning Opportunities
•    New uses for student data
•    Workforce development
•   
More than just a briefing, this fast paced planning session will convene K12 and higher education leaders and executives from state and local workforce development teams around an agenda designed for specific “take away” implementation ideas.

More details to come!
