Pack Your Bags for an AI-Driven Future
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a societal shift on par with the printing press, the assembly line, and the internet, and it’s reshaping the future. As we hurtle toward an AI-driven future, today’s youth stand at the epicenter of this transformation. They are poised to inherit a realm where AI is not just a tool but a transformative force already changing the landscape of all industries. From healthcare to finance, retail to manufacturing, AI already impacts the types of jobs available.
Given the transformative impact of AI, we must rethink our approach to education and prepare students for a future where AI is an integral part of daily life and work. AI will significantly determine the types of jobs available in the workforce, how we train people to do these jobs, and how we prepare students for their future. As these advances transform how, where, when, and even why we work, education must keep up with the changes. Educational institutions that are not rethinking what students need in order to be equipped for this future will be left behind.
Join Rachael Mann for a journey through where we’ve been, where we are, and where we are going. Discover what to pack for the future and how to unpack these important topics. Pack your bags; the future is here!
The Martians in Your Classroom
People say that if we keep doing what we are doing, we will keep getting what we are getting. This is overly optimistic. At some point, what we were doing worked. The world has changed. The systems that worked well in education yesterday worked well yesterday. The workplace of tomorrow is vastly different from what currently exists. How will globalization, the space race, and technological advances such as automation, virtual reality, and augmented reality impact the future world of work? Who are these Martians in our learning spaces? What is in store for them? How can you ensure that they are future-fit? Join Rachael Mann on a journey to discover forecasted changes in the world around us and how educators can equip the Martians in our classrooms for careers that are out of this world and down to Earth.
The Culture Impact
What do kool-aid, yogurt, and Petri dishes have in common? They each hold clues for effective leadership in education. Discover how to create an environment that keeps your staff (and students) coming back for more.
Turning Ideas Worth Spreading Into Talks and Presentations
Educators are masters in their content area, but how much time is spent on learning to present ideas and content in a relevant way in which the audience members not only hear, but remember and act upon the information? Or the brain science behind presentations? This three-hour workshop will explore techniques based upon insights from the most popular TED Talks that can be applied in the classroom and shared with students to equip them for the public speaking portion of competitive events. Participants will leave with a toolkit of resources to use starting with day one of the new school year.
