In the 21st century the curriculum is no longer the most importantpart of school. The learning experience is. This experience is whatteaches students the portable skills they need to be successful in this rapidlychanging world. A positive learning experience is what causes students tobecome life-long learners, not just learners who can retain content informationlong enough to take the next test. A deeper learning experience is whatcreates self-esteem, empathy, confidence, and agency, essential qualities forpersonal success in the world of work, in relationships, with family, and incivic life.
Students are an untapped resource that can change the world. Traditional education positions students as not yet ready to be contributingmembers of society, but a change in that paradigm could unleash unimaginabletalent to solve the world’s problems.
The Revolution in Education Congress: Schools of Purpose has a mission to be that kind of learning experience for educators. With focusedkeynote speeches by global education experts and hours of hands-on workshops, itwill be a congress like no other.
Participants will talk with the experts and work together in small groups, challenging conventional educationalparadigms while preparing to later change their own practices.
The congress is organized by Dr. Frank Locker, creator of HarvardUniversity’s LEFT program and international educational planning consultant,Nicholas Salmon, founder and president of the Collaborative LearningNetwork, in alliance with Avante Global School and Gimnasio los Caobos,private Colombian schools leading PBL with Purpose experiences with greatlearning results and and strong parent/student engagement.
