Keynote Presentation
“A Place We Used to Call School”
Are we nearing the end of an era where the traditional school is the exception rather than the rule? From public policy to resource availability and allocation to advancements in technology to the characteristics of the 21st Century student, we are experiencing significant changes and challenges that could transform educational practice and delivery. The presentation will identify and consider emerging trends that have implications for
today and promise for tomorrow.
