  • How can we effectively globalize the curriculum?
  • What will new versions of schools look like in the future?
  • Are there signs of these now in the field?
  • What does 21st century leadership need to change to adapt to meet the needs of our learner?

Explore these questions and raise your own with internationally recognized curriculum expert Dr. Heidi Hayes Jacobs in what promises to be a lively and engaging webinar event.
