SOUTH 230E
School Leaders
We've all heard about soft skills, but that phrase is not well-suited to describe what students need to navigate the Fourth Industrial Age, an area dominated by artificial intelligence and automation. In this session, panelists will discuss the durable skills students need to succeed in the not-so-distant future. In addition, attendees will learn actionable steps they can take during the upcoming school year to initiate or enhance support for building durable skills. There is no time like the present to prepare students for the future.
