The Foundation for Excellence in Education is hosting its 5th annual Excellence in Action National Summit on Education Reform. Governor Jeb Bush, chairman of the Foundation for Excellence in Education, will be hosting the two-day event. This forum aims to bring the most influential policy makers together to figure out what works, what doesn’t, and what’s next for education in America.
To help facilitate that discussion, the Foundation has recruited a commanding set of leaders. Dr. Condoleezza Rice, former Secretary of State, and Joel Klein, former chancellor of New York City’s public schools, along with Dr. Richard Haass, President of the council on Foreign Relations, will be headlining the keynote dinner. The current agenda has a number of Strategy Sessions scheduled, intended to synergize the brains of the best legislators and policymakers in our country. Undoubtedly Digital Learning will be at the forefront of discussion. Keynote speaker Joel Klein was recently quoted:
“I think about how different the world is today in terms of the media, in terms of medicine, in terms of the way people really experience their lives, but education is stuck in a 19th-century model. So I’m convinced that we can change the way we educate our kids. Use technology not [just] by giving a kid a computer but by really improving instruction, by helping teachers do their work in a much more effective way.”
Register here to be a part of the two-day event, held November 27th – 28th at the JW Marriott in Washington, DC.
