More than 100 countries (per Brookings), and thousands of schools worldwide require the teaching of Competencies, often known as “21st Century Skills,” “4C’s,” “Social-Emotional Learning (SEL),” “Portrait of a Graduate,” or “Learner Profile.”
These Competencies, however, are not deliberately, systematically, comprehensively, or demonstrably embedded into classroom instruction.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) only complicates the conversation. Are the Competencies helped or hindered by AI? If so, which ones and how? Sitting at the intersection of the education and AI worlds, this Summit will discuss and explore concrete, research-backed ideas for educators and schools.
