Student Panel Plenary – Students are Catalysts for Change: Youth Perspectives on Education
Students are the drivers for the future of education. Youth voice must remain unequivocally central to education redesign efforts in order to drive positive, authentic change. Join this student panel to understand how students are experiencing this unprecedented time. Students will provide insights and testimony on what’s working in the design of student-centered, personalized, competency-based learning. Students will share their ideas on how we might do a better job rethinking the use of time, space, and place in designing new learning models and schools as we set a path for the future. Youth will offer feedback on how they experience this unprecedented time and guide us to create positive changes in climate and culture while modernizing systems and school structures.

Top Trends for the Future of K-12 Education: A Path Forward & Equitable Futures
The future is not predetermined; we are charged with creating it. Global and national trends are inspiring new ways of thinking about redesigning education so all youth can achieve success, contribute to their communities, and advance society. As education leaders, we are tasked with disrupting the structural inequities driving the education systems we’ve inherited and ensure each child has what they need to develop their full academic, social, and personal capacity. Join this inspirational closing keynote on the top 10 trends for advancing future-focused, equity-driven, student-centered education systems.
