Technology advancements, spiking enrollments and other factors are shifting the way in which educators deliver instruction in the 21st century, and the manner in which students learn. How are administrators now addressing the increasingly diverse learning needs of students? What changes if any are occurring within educational facilities and the campus infrastructure to address change? And are we gaining or losing? This session will provide you the unique vantage points of accomplished education leaders, to include college administrators, educational facilities officers, and K-12 school system superintendents, as they share their perspective on “The Here and Now.” |
