New Pathways to Real-World Learning Experiences
September 17 - 19, 2024
About The Event
How might new pathways serve as an equity and opportunity strategy to embed real-world learning in schools across the country so that every student can experience success in what’s next? Let’s pave the way together. Getting Smart and Real World Learning, a program of the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, in collaboration with American Student Assistance, invite you to gather, design, and explore with us. Join us as we align on innovative new pathways and share key learnings and strategies of successful implementation of the Real World Learning initiative in the Kansas City region. Questions?
