![]() | 8:00 a.m. Around the Flagpole: What Matters + Why: Whittling the Future of Education |
Hosted by
Keynote by ASU President Michael Crow with leadership panel
"For our society to achieve its ideal there cannot be an unequal distribution of its most important asset – education." – Michael M. Crow, ASU President
Join President Michael Crow and panelists to kick off LearningMan 2020. By design, LearningMan is for all. Universal design and access, when applied to education, means that education must be for everyone. Arizona State University has embraced the concept of the Universal Learner as the core of our charter is that we are "not measured by whom we exclude but whom we include." So, how do we shape a more equitable future of learning? President Crow will share his vision for education in service of everyone, illuminating new models of teaching and learning that have emerged from the pandemic; there is no one-size fits all approach and institutions must accelerate efforts to democratize learning.
A followup panel, hosted by Workday, will provide a diversity of education leadership perspectives on the “next normal” -- the one we’re creating together. What are the chasms we face and what are the bridges we need to build? What are our visions for the future of learning and how can we realize them? What new skills do we need? The panel will set the tone for a LearningMan experience that has an intentional bend towards action.
