Good Day Dakota County - May 14
The Future of Education – What Will Learning Be Like In The Near Future and Beyond:
The basic model of delivering education has changed very little in the last century compared to the rapid pace of change taking place in the world around us. Why is that and how should that model be transformed for the future to meet the needs of students and families, and to address the growing issues of workforce shortages, rising income inequality, and an aging population? Please join us for this engaging conversation with two Dakota County school district superintendents. We will also be joined by one local business leader discussing the needs of businesses as it relates to education in the future.
