What School Looks Like for Future-Ready Teens: Paradigm Shifts for Career + Life Success

Session 1
Jennifer L.M. Gunn, Bennett Smith — NYC Dept. of Education, My Unique Genius

Discussion: What needs to change in schools — in your school — for teens to be truly future-ready? What mindsets, what paradigms, what systems — big and small? We'll ask the big questions, dig in, and unpack the shifts needed at the district, school, and classroom levels. We'll provide examples of what some schools are doing to make these shifts as inspiration. Workshop: Then we'll shift into accelerator mode, sourcing and sharing real ideas for catalytic teaching and learning that guide teens to be future-ready. We'll also explore how to make these shifts happen — starting small, piloting, etc.

Conversational Practice

The entire session will be rooted in conversation and creation. We'll incorporate whole-group and small-group discussion and idea sharing throughout. Crowd-sourcing ideas, group brainstorming, and the creation of artifacts participants can take home to their schools. A really creative, and collaborative. environment
