SXSW EDU 2022
Educating Changemakers for Global Impact
Description:
How do we prepare tomorrow's global change makers? Research shows that project-based learning and other high-impact practices elevate students' ability to communicate, think critically, and perform on a team to co-create solutions to local/global challenges. Our collective responsibility is to find new ways to guide learners to turn their ideas into action, which means moving beyond the traditional to drive sustainable curricular and cultural reform that better serves our students and the world.
