The Aurora Institute Symposium brings together innovators working to transform K-12 education. At the Symposium, you'll find attendees from across the education innovation space who are pushing for learning to happen outside of traditional school walls, and to be more personalized, competency-based, and future-focused. The Symposium is the premiere event for learning about next generation learning models, anytime, anywhere learning, the latest policy developments to enable the future, research and best practices around innovations, and trends around future-focused education transformation.
Presentation Abstract: Have you ever looked around and felt like you were all alone in the innovations you were trying to implement in your school/district/state? Have you heard excuses from everyone around you about why they can't do what you are doing or why what you are doing will never work long term? Many of us have faced challenges in our journeys to build the momentum for CBE. In this session we will look at the problems of practice that might have been roadblocks at some point along the way (and maybe still are) and brainstorm solutions based on experience and lessons learned. Participants can also make connections with each other to remind them they are not alone in their efforts to provide the best possible education for all students.
