Charting a Course for the Arts and 21st Century Learning
October 2-3, 2009
Cambridge, MA
Join us on October 2-3, 2009 in Cambridge, MA for a lively exploration of the connections and synchronicities between the arts and 21st century learning. We will be looking especially at the ways the principles of 21st century learning, particularly imagination, creativity and innovation, are incorporated, articulated and supported throughout the education system from pre-K to higher education. This meeting will be hosted by Lesley University.

* Plenary Panel: “Navigating New Waters: Arts Learning and Higher Education Policy, Research and Practice.” Confirmed panelists include Shirley Brice Heath, linguistic anthropologist and international scholar on learning in the arts, and Martha McKenna, Provost, Lesley University. Respondent: David Haselkorn, Associate Commissioner of the Center for Educator Policy, Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
