Built to Last: Durable Skills & K-12 Education
Description:
They have been called soft skills, people skills and 21st Century skills. Regardless of the language, there’s a growing consensus that skills like critical thinking, communication, and creativity have the most lasting impact on a student’s success after high school. But incorporating experiences that meaningfully develop these “durable skills” within traditional K-12 settings isn’t easy.
This panel brings together experts at the intersection of education and the future of work to explore durable skills and the innovative learning experiences that can cultivate them in K-12 classrooms.
