What School is For: Same Mission, New Terrain
LIMITED
Tuesday July 21, 2026 11:00am - 11:55am EDT
Limited Capacity seats available
The purpose of school has not changed. For 2,500 years, the mission has been the same: prepare people to think, engage, and contribute to the society they live in. AI doesn't change that; it confirms it. As the jobs we prepare students for change faster than our curriculum can follow, the human development at the heart of that mission matters more than ever. This session is about leading from that mission with clarity, confidence, and optimism.
