Have you heard about the National Governor Association's "Let's Get Ready" initiative? We recently hosted an exclusive conversation for our clients and colleagues with Tamara (Tammi) Hiler, Governor Polis' special advisor for K-12 and early childhood, and Seth Gerson, Program Director at the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices. Key takeaways from the initiative that were shared: ▪️ Comprehensive Scope: Covers early childhood to workforce development, emphasizing student readiness at every stage. ▪️Work-Based Learning: Highlights apprenticeships, dual enrollment, and hands-on experiences to prepare students for life after high school. ▪️New Success Metrics: Seeks innovative ways to measure readiness, focusing on 21st-century skills beyond diplomas and test scores. ▪️Kindergarten Readiness: Explores ways to define readiness consistently across states to align early learning with K-12 goals. ▪️Scaling Proven Strategies: Evaluates what’s working—like high-impact tutoring—and aims to scale successful programs. It was a privilege to offer this opportunity for our community to engage in this important conversation about the future of education. #EducationPolicy #StudentSuccess #WorkforceDevelopment

Excited to join this session with three amazing presidents on digital transformation and the evolution of the higher education presidency. I’ll be moderating a featured session at the EDUCAUSE 2024 Annual Conference in San Antonio, TX with Mark David Milliron, Anne Kress and Constance St. Germain, EdD. We’ll focus on hearing their perspectives on leadership in a new era of technology adoption and change for higher ed. I'm curious myself to hear what these three leaders have to share, so join us for an engaging conversation on Tuesday 10/22 at 8CT! #HigherEd #Leadership #EdTech #ChangeManagement #EDU24
