Saturday, April 16th
8:15am Opening Remarks, Alex Hernandez, Partner, Charter School Growth Fund
Now, more so than ever, education leaders are re-thinking how education is
delivered to the student. A confluence of factors, including public engagement,
policy changes, proof points, and rapidly advancing technology, have made for an
unprecedented opportunity for transforming the way students are taught. Alumni
will rotate through sessions with representatives from three schools, each which
have leveraged technology in very different ways. Understand how they differ
from traditional schools for students, teachers and parents. Experience specific
technologies, and discuss their success, barriers and potential for scalability.
12:00pm Lunch
