Session Overview
Trying to keep up with educational trends? What works? What doesn't work? Where is education headed these days? If any of these questions have crossed your mind lately, join Dr. Sarah Eaton for this upcoming Spotlight Session.
In the 21st Century, new trends in education include using technology both inside and outside the classroom; adopting an individualized and learner-centered approach to learning; linking language learning to leadership skills and community impact; and asset-based approaches to assessment, including frameworks and benchmarks.
