A1: The right education at the right time for the right people in the right mode
Do you think that we have tools that set us up for success as LLL?
A1: Being able and willing to read for knowledge, and not just pleasure. Having a hunger to learn something new, every day.
A1: Lifelong learning involves continuing to develop your skills and pursue learning opportunities, formally + informally
Michael Crawford. DC3 at . Former CAO at . Both orgs leverage to change the world. cc
A1 Capacity to set goals, establish pathways, create feedback loops, build connections and conjure confidence
Lifelong learning means not staying stagnant in life. What else can I learn, even it's about something I think I know already?
We now live in a world of “always-on learning.” Learning happens throughout the work day, in the evenings, on the weekend.
What does that look like for you ? https://t.co/WKdqjQsHJJ
A1: The right education at the right time for the right people in the right mode
A1 Lifelong learning is knowing that the growth never stops. Had a great conversation abt this w/ my 80 yo Gma
Yes to that! https://t.co/dYd3yoEs2m

A1) LLL means a system that supports students returning for education and training as employment needs evolve
internet and interest are key ingredients. Seeking help irl when needed
I agree! & yet, often learning post college is an on your own thing. How do you see that changing? https://t.co/lJmb36ekQ2
. Incubator is in Westchester by LAX. We are a third-year LAUSD pilot school. Where abouts did you teach?
A1: I think lifelong learning is both an individual's responsibility or something we need to support as an industry.
A1: Lifelong learning is intrinsically motivated project-based learning.
I think most people have technology that can be used for successful LLL; not all have developed the skills yet.
I have major struggles with reading for knowledge. I read for entertainment every day though...
Where do you find community? https://t.co/FSCC8uUNEV
internet and interest are key ingredients. Seeking help irl when needed
Julie here from - working on MOOCs for AP and prof dev. Prior experience in adult ed, so LLL interests me.
A1 It happens more when a learner discovers that the only essentials for a learning experience are a learner & an experience
Welcome!! We are so excited you joined us!!
is now trending in USA, ranking 46
Oh right, the Incubator School! I need to visit. I was at a Catholic school in Encino, deep in the valley :)
A1: love of learning built from a foundation of meaningful learning experiences, sharing reflection and continuous rebuilding
Agreed. Collaboration is still important. Support from peers is still vital. https://t.co/WRF3eabgZ1
internet and interest are key ingredients. Seeking help irl when needed
Interesting... say more! Is this a good term or a negative one?
can't just leave it at that, tell us more! What words of wisdom does she have to offer?
A1: Lifelong learning is a mindset, not a thing. https://t.co/aJOSQFXHQS
Q1: What does lifelong learning look like to you? What does it take?
A1: to me, lifelong learning means enabling, embracing, and cultivating curiosity, then taking action to respond to it
I love how you used "rebuilding" - great way to put it https://t.co/dcmCqtiDLI
A1: love of learning built from a foundation of meaningful learning experiences, sharing reflection and continuous rebuilding
Hey Julie! I bet you know .
Hello Anabel from NC. A1: Lifelong learning is about embracing flaws & failures not as setbacks but as stepping stones.
Yes to love of learning. Love of learning + curiosity + agency = a life of rich learning.

Hey et al.: waiting for ? Jump into 's chat right now! -->

. from joining the right now. We're an online programming bootcamp
So true, they can guide the "student" to find the right tool & community as they need it https://t.co/DKp2Eq22ty
A1: Good teachers/motivators, still count. Peer learning is powerful too. Life experience must be factored into T&L.
totally agree...must assist parents to see this as a priority for themselves to be role models for students
Q2 coming up in 1 minute…
A1 Cultivating the inner curiosity inside students. Need to know more. Desire to better oneself.
Totally agree that surrounding yourself with the right peers is the KEY to powerful lifelong learning
A1 Yes on good teachers, but for lifelong learning, there is great power in the learner w/ a thousand teachers.
- creates lifelong learners! It means the ability to give & receive feedback & adapt
A1: To me, lifelong learning looks like failing… and trying again. Over and over.
I totally remember that story! It was a good one. :)
Maybe it is redefining the term teacher https://t.co/0nKJQNhFEO
A1 Yes on good teachers, but for lifelong learning, there is great power in the learner w/ a thousand teachers.
Q2 Do you think what is taught in schools matches expectations in the workforce today? What is working/what needs to change?
I struggle with books like “Design of Every Day Things” or pop-psych books, that kind of stuff
A1: it's disappointing that lifelong learning must be formally named. We don't have 'lifelong breathing' or 'lifelong smiling'
Would that be categorized as social-emotional learning, or something else?
We would love to have/meet you!
Agree! Also the desire to make an https://t.co/TM3gUjziSh

We will use a Q1, Q2… format for Questions during . Please use the A1, A2… format for answers.
Tonight the questions will be coming from the HigherEdSurge handle; Molly_Levitt is the face behind the handle
RT HigherEdSurge: Q1: What does lifelong learning look like to you? What does it take?
A1: Classes emphasizing that they are the first step not the end of knowledge acquisition in that field
A1: Lifelong learning is a thirst for knowledge and a growth mindset. It's the ultimate self-directed learning.
Yeah. But I also wonder who really has access to "lifelong learning" opportunities/mindsets.
Too late. I stole it first.
A1: teacher is like banks of river guiding students to where they want to go.
Every day at we meet folks in their 40s and 50s who want to become developers. We believe it's never to late
Q2 -There needs to be more of a balance, kids DO need skills (reading/math etc), but memorizing makes no sense anymore.
We need a way to better match students and teachers/motivators
A1:Lifelong learning is pursuing your dreams, reflecting, modifying, and creating path to those dreams.
I totally agree! How can we better support & create lifelong learning partnerships for them to take advtage of?
A1. To quote Socrates, “Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.” Important mindset for ongoing edu.
students deserve more information about how course, program, & degree learning outcomes map to industry skills
Lifelong learning is always wanting to be better than you are today
A2. No, but should it? If we teach today’s skills today they’ll be obsolete when students graduate. https://t.co/hu65oijAWX
Q2 Do you think what is taught in schools matches expectations in the workforce today? What is working/what needs to change?
Folks! Join happening now with and
Welp, that’s going on the list. thanks!
Yep, I feel the same about "global learning" "global education" & "global citizenship" https://t.co/pcg3qPawWs
A1: it's disappointing that lifelong learning must be formally named. We don't have 'lifelong breathing' or 'lifelong smiling'
Q1. Approach everyday, every person, every source, every situation as a learning opportunity - with open mind.
You're just down the road.
A2: You need to create a space of motivation to ID & solve problems. Set a high bar & cheer them on in their discovery
some schools are better than others at helping close skills gap. Experiential education opportunities are key
A1: Mastering your own social emotional state is the ultimate skill for work and personal life. Who teaches that?
A2 Getting there, but not there yet. Still too many Ss leave school knowing how to....go to school. Be in school. Follow rules
more power to you, Joya, that is definitely a blessing
Absolutely. For the lifelong learner, a teacher is anyone or anything that can help you learn.
Yep. https://t.co/DEGQmvhop0
A2. No, but should it? If we teach today’s skills today they’ll be obsolete when students graduate. https://t.co/hu65oijAWX
Q2 Do you think what is taught in schools matches expectations in the workforce today? What is working/what needs to change?
Today mindset is post-degree i.e., those who've successfully run the gauntlet. It will encompass all higher ed. .
A2: one prob is that a sizable chunk of the workforce needs young people who self-discover, which can't be 'taught' per se
A2 Not across the board, but getting there. Ts are discovering the benefit of PBL, learning from failure, tech skills.
A1: Lifelong learning means Ss know their learning style, how to start, troubleshoot and reflect on the learning process.
A2: TBH I do think schools are teaching workforce skills, but I wish more widely used programs were involved in assignments
A2: No, school is struggling to meet the demands of workforce.
A2. Sometimes it is the connection that is missing - in the content to real world & the leaners knowing what exists.
A2 There seems to be a disconnect in what is taught in schools and the workforce. Look to those in the workforce for solutions
Q2: depends on T & school. I've seen some amazing work. How might we cultivate more problem solving/seeking skills in Ss?
A2. Not really, but we are moving that way. Our kids need to be taught how to think more than what to know.
A2: I also wonder if there ever was a time when schools and companies believed they matched
Maybe "taught" is just the wrong verb to use. "guided," "inspired," "motivated," perhaps?
Q2. Depends. From experience hiring Comp Sci students, they learn theory/concept but not much pract.knowledge.
True! (Devils Advocate) Is there a workforce benefit to this? Do Ss need to learn to "go to work?" https://t.co/j1TOUdmhPQ
A2 Getting there, but not there yet. Still too many Ss leave school knowing how to....go to school. Be in school. Follow rules
Q2: I think there's a huge gap in schools - students aren't asked to put what they know into action.
A2: 40% of college grads in their 20’s are unemployed or underemployed. How can we improve those outcomes? - LT
Yes, we need to do more of that. School has too look different.
. A1 experiences, mentorships, books, appetite for ongoing development, better ways to capture/communicate this.
Good point. Why do you think this is the case? https://t.co/uuLTcoXUGd
A2: 40% of college grads in their 20’s are unemployed or underemployed. How can we improve those outcomes? - LT
This is central premise of the book I Love Learning, I Hate School. https://t.co/x8XqXr8SGP
A2 Getting there, but not there yet. Still too many Ss leave school knowing how to....go to school. Be in school. Follow rules
A2: That depends on the school, but I would say both yes and no. Yes to basics; so-so with tech skills; No to soft skills
How do we create better alignments between school and workforce? What's the best way to do this?
A2: we make the mistake of thinking that we must 'teach' everything everyone 'needs.' What about getting out of the way?
A2: Fields for fundmtl skills (eg critical thinking) yes, but others are not nearly agile or empl aligned enough
What a great answer. Problem solving and reflection is huge. https://t.co/xK9IodzAl4
A1: Lifelong learning means Ss know their learning style, how to start, troubleshoot and reflect on the learning process.
A2 We do our best for the future when we help kids use future-proof skills like creativity, crit thinking and connection-making
A2: Degrees serve as proxies for soft skills. It’s hard for employers to know a grad’s specific skills based on a degree. - LT
what's the balance btw preparing students for a specific job vs preparing them to be generally employable?
A2 important to teach all century skills-learners need to be agile and have skills needed to be informed global citizens
A2: The degree is the best tool we have for social mobility. Still, institutions must adapt to bridge the skills gap
A2 What is learned is incredibly different from one school to the next, & what is needed in different workplaces varies too.
A tough job, but always worth it. People say "engagement" is overrated/hard to measure, but I disagree.
A2. We have no bleeding idea because we don't track outcomes and aren't (yet) connecting to People Analytics within enterprise.
A2. Yes, low expectations from workplace match poor results from schools
A2: Many school curriculums focus too much on memorizing facts and too little on understanding and skill.
do you know of schools that ask students to draw on their experiential education in class?
A2. Some really promising work from and other programs aligning WF needs and ED.
Agreed! Traditional higher ed age/power dynamic falls away in LLL. Older learn from younger, etc. https://t.co/73YrtG1Tbw
Absolutely. For the lifelong learner, a teacher is anyone or anything that can help you learn.
A:1 Lifelong learning is an insatiable thirst for expanding horizons and acquiring new skills https://t.co/gnNbutlDqo
Q1: What does lifelong learning look like to you? What does it take?
We must put in a standard protocol for schools to connect to higher ed and workforce
I agree If we want to prepare our students for tomorrow, we need to look at that now https://t.co/tRMapjY18b
Yes, we need to do more of that. School has too look different.
There needs to be more dialogue and the community needs more input. We need to be better listeners.
Agreed ... and on applying curriculum to the real world.
A2: depends on T & school. I see some great change happening. Cultivating skills to problem solve and seek + articulate = major🔑
A2: Dense curriculums don't create skills for jobs, deep understanding that can be built on does.
giving credit for work experience while practicing cycling in theory.
A2: Partnerships w/ higher ed are working. Salesforce Academic Alliance helps schools integrate into curriculum.- LT
at the least need communications skills. That's #1 skill req by employers across industries & roles
what are the most promising examples of this changing?
Ideally 100% the latter and 0% the former. Companies should train for skills. https://t.co/0yOl9WR24O
what's the balance btw preparing students for a specific job vs preparing them to be generally employable?
TOTALLY AGREE!!! Who is leading this work? Or who should be?
Yes, because the Ss we have now will need very different skills that what we are asking them.
Agreed! I also think focusing on lifelong learning doesn't actually ask us to focus on anything https://t.co/l6BQsJRyqs
A1: it's disappointing that lifelong learning must be formally named. We don't have 'lifelong breathing' or 'lifelong smiling'
A2: Employers need to build specific roles/pathways awareness. Students/schools may not know of emerging roles/how to prep.- LT
Also impt to note not just about topics. Format and delivery also affect who can fully access resources
. Right. But using that verb has massive implications for all aspects of a learning environment. So it matters greatly
Q2: Nope, I don't think schooling is entirely relevant re: workforce. Needs? To have students create, not consume.
exactly. explored this at our meetup. as $ + politics demands shift, so too do role of U's re: skills
A2: Some schools do better helping Ss become career ready. I believe that's where those community partnerships could help.
higher ed can offer broad perspectives to many challenges, including vocational ones
No, it doesn't. Tech is constantly evolving. You need to be a constant learner https://t.co/plh2bDW7Q9
Q2 Do you think what is taught in schools matches expectations in the workforce today? What is working/what needs to change?
Agreed, pt 2. IMO better question is Learning what?
q2. Another surprise for students we've hired - working in teams. Not taught in classes.
A2 It's hard to know what the world is going to look like in 50 yrs. Will we look back @ these ideas and think we got it wrong?
It needs to start with strong leadership and building relationships. Each party needs to understand the other.
Q3 coming up in 1 minute…
I couldn't agree more. But how do we shift this?
A2 experiential, service, PBL ed tools match some industries; didacticism, rote, quashing of creativity match others (sadly).
I.e. when you don't use the word "taught", you question the use of "teacher"?
Having said this, I think a senior year focused on near term skills would be reasonable. https://t.co/SsRIT1Ah9A
Ideally 100% the latter and 0% the former. Companies should train for skills. https://t.co/0yOl9WR24O
what's the balance btw preparing students for a specific job vs preparing them to be generally employable?
I agree LMurray_ If we want to prepare our students for tomorrow, we need to look at that now https://t.co/fzw2y5JIIC
Yes, we need to do more of that. School has too look different.
A2 There seems to be a disconnect in what is taught in schools and the workforce. Look to those in the workforce for solutions
A2: higher Ed needs to be ready for incoming students. In many cases k-12 is ahead of HE
Companies like and surfacing sub-credential competencies and connnecting to enterprise ATS.
It is good that more people are questioning the amount of testing. Parents are trying to be better informed.
A2: We must do better in teaching a entrepreneurial mindset and skill set. Our economy has changed, and will continue to do so
A2. does! skills, personalized/self-paced learning, impact projects, and tech skills.
A2 There are many educators taking leaps outside their comfort zones, changing their ways, & developing skills for pos growth.
Q3: What kinds of experiences do students (& adults) now need to continue picking up skills throughout their learning journey?
Absolutely. Deep understanding can come from curriculum and learning enough to dive into "real world" and skill up
PREACH. In what ways, specifically?
What are the biggest lessons HE can learn from K12?
we do . Other co-op schools like Waterloo, Drexel, Ga Tech too. And most MBA programs
I would in the right environment. One where we invest in employees’ development. Hire for fit, train for skills.
A2: not all students are going to same place. We can't lump all SS together.
In many cases the college graduate is the new unskilled worker. Many graduates lack practical technical skills.
. A2 This needs to be a balance. We don't want workforce to be driving force prescribing what and how we learn.
I totally agree. How do we teach flexibility? How do we teach how to acquire more skills as they go?
A2. does! skills, personalized/self-paced learning, impact projects, entrepreneurship, and tech skills.
A2 For example what students learn at Acton Academy in Austin is far different from what they learn at my local high school.
A1: Lifelong learning means staying curious, making mistakes & continual persistence
A2: Helping students "learn how to learn" is best thing we can do to equip. I always want to hire 'quick studies'.
A3. Problem solving experiences are needed.
A3: Real-world hands on experience is key, only 32% of US grads have worked on a project lasting for one or more semesters. -LT
A2 If we can focus on teaching Ss the importance of hard work, respect for others, teachability, & integrity, Ss will be ready.
A2: agrees wholeheartedly :) https://t.co/WzDgbAyVAj
A2: We must do better in teaching a entrepreneurial mindset and skill set. Our economy has changed, and will continue to do so
A3: Ss need to be globally aware, problem solvers, communicators, understand data - what it means- how to use it.
A3 They need to be able to find info; to have the patience to sift through a lot of it; and the motivation to continue
And with that, I have to run to a meeting. can probably only deal with me in small doses anyway. ‘-)
A2. Students need a purpose for learning. If they can apply what they're learning to their own lives, it then becomes authentic
A3: we all need high level literacy skills: data lit, visual lit, info lit.
HR technologies deployed within enterprises to track employee performance + feedback to recruitment.
A2, Pt 2: Quality learning outcomes are create opportunities for holistic achievement + go beyond skills-based instruction
A3: They need to know how to assess an opportunity, what they know & need to know and where to turn to get skills.
A3: Ss need to reflect on what they can do and what they need to learn. Set goals and work to achieve them.
Q3: Critical reading and thinking skills, for sure. Adults & students must learn to filter through and process quality info
A3 Ss need experiences that will be reflective of real life experiences. We think is an essential life skill!
A3: design thinking experiences can be incredibly powerful for developing skills and mindsets https://t.co/DFvfg1KyZt
. Perhaps. And we more fully acknowledge the range of their functions. What percent of what teachers do is 'teach'?
is built directly into Community app, vets are able to take 1000s of hours of free training
A3 Great question. How do we keep kids curious? Comes back to relationships. Creating a community. Encouraging inquiry.
there are roles I need skilled staff 4 right away. I'd like a person to have some skills when hired.
A3 Taking on demanding assignments that they feel unprepared for. Hoping to have managers that encourage exploration
Lots of literacy... but what about when it comes to forming original ideas, how do we teach that through lit?
Creating a community of inquiry - helps Ss to ask the right questions & to learn how to work together https://t.co/psz6IqDMoP
A3 Great question. How do we keep kids curious? Comes back to relationships. Creating a community. Encouraging inquiry.
강남풀싸롱 예약하기 ~ 선릉풀싸롱 ~ ~ 강남야구장
A3 The experience of connecting & collaborating across networks
A3 How to communicate effectively in a formal manner. We don't use text language in our work day.
A3 Safety in learning risks, global exposure, cultural sensitivity, practice in identifying mentors/resources, offering skills
Lol. No by a long shot. And we're just touching the surface on AI.
A3 We need to have students in all demographic areas reading on grade level at an early age and then continue to grow.
Agreed. Maybe cycling btwn the two (in real time & apart); greater student voice in edu design https://t.co/yFUoVfvPN2
. A2 This needs to be a balance. We don't want workforce to be driving force prescribing what and how we learn.
A3. Caution: before we start driving, we need GPS for human capital development - a data problem that technology is solving.
A1: Either/or seems limiting. Best thing I learned in school was how to learn more.
A3) Students need many options, from IHEs to new providers, like we're supporting with EQUIP https://t.co/Z1tYiEwMqh
A3: opp's to own their own learning. The act of 'owning their own learning' is something too few young ppl experience today
Good point. How do they know what they need to know? What are some good resources for doing this? - LT https://t.co/mtvmOTftXy
A3: They need to know how to assess an opportunity, what they know & need to know and where to turn to get skills.
A3: Real-Life experiences with Real-Life problems https://t.co/niCxVoFzLw
Q3: What kinds of experiences do students (& adults) now need to continue picking up skills throughout their learning journey?
A3 The experience of creating & executing a self-directed learning project (shameless plug for forthcoming book hidden here)
A3. I'm always biased towards Peace Corps volunteers. Lifelong learners. Can handle anything.
Cultural sensitivity for sure! https://t.co/Zqlfvth4D8
A3 Safety in learning risks, global exposure, cultural sensitivity, practice in identifying mentors/resources, offering skills
A3: They need to know how to tell the difference between feelings and rational thought. How to leverage both @ the right time.
A3 I would say communication skills. How to communicate effectively w/wo technology.
What is holding higher ed back? That's what I really want to know.
what should drive (if not workforce). who decides? how do we know if we are successful?
A3: learning-to-learn is a key skill and the different mediums through which this can be done should be taught to Ss
Good point about the quality info.
Learning experiences that leave students with proof or credentials verifying their mastery is critical.
Students need to work collaboratively and learn through discovery.
agree! Reflection is key to self-awareness
cross generational teamwork, remote project management, internet research, dealing w/ difficult ppl/situations
A3: How to connect to people who will challenge your views
A3 The experience of accomplishing something that is impossible to accomplish alone (genuine collaboration & cooperation)
A3: Collaboration, teamwork, and to be able to communicate their views w/out getting defensive
Lifelong learning = learning more about *everything* I can, often as I can. Learning is its own goal. https://t.co/3zGP8dUS6I
Q1: What does lifelong learning look like to you? What does it take?
A1: There's absolutely a disconnect between what's taught in university and what employers really need https://t.co/WDFshZbkEV
Excellent point! But how to move s's from consumption to creation? (as a former pbl teacher I think a lot abt this)
A2: EDU teaches more than just facts & processes. Big strength are the intangibles that are learned. https://t.co/O7v6htJ1hK
Q2 Do you think what is taught in schools matches expectations in the workforce today? What is working/what needs to change?
Give Ss chance to see everything as "learning opportunity." Groaning aside, encourage them turn moments into lessons!
A3 The experience of accomplishing something without clear guidance or directions
There's a lot of info out there, but not all info is created equal.

I agree and it appeals to so many Ss. We can reach so many with different abilities through coding.
and recognizing how little you know
This is a great question! Not sure there are any great tools. I always start with youtube or twitter for everything.

A3: learn how to truly listen and not just hear what people are saying; gather needed information to truly understand problem
A3: Experiences rooted in questioning, exploration & discovery. Confidence in knowing that sometimes there isn't just 1 answer

A3 The experience of seeing something familiar from an awe-inspiring and fresh perspective
and learners need to be defining success too. create their own hurdles & leap over them; will be adaptable
I agree. I think that's probably due to their lack of historical or greater context. They need to read, read, read.
Wish I could be there for that!

A4. Experiences need to be shaped by collaboration - across grade levels & curriculum areas, between schools & real world.
A4 You know what I'm about to say. All of us! It takes a village. We all have a part to play in crafting these experiences.
It takes a village, but our villages are not very collaborative https://t.co/ekjBCxhV63
A4: I know it's sound overwhelming, but… everyone? society?
. Agree but we need to imbue in them the confidence that they can.
A4. Would be nice if schools could lead, but most will be dragged forward by employers + candidates adopting new technologies.
A4: It's a cliche but it's true: it takes the entire village.
ya, it's about dexterity, not tools.

I think when Ruby goes away, you'll wish you'd had both.
Great visual and very true Lets bridge that divide!
Q4: trick question. EVERYONE plays a role. Ss especially, the sooner they can advocate for themselves the better.
have we seen a difference in success, self-paced vs set time in completion with online higher Ed?
I agree. But I think this is true of almost any job I've done. Teacher, journalist, researcher -
Allow ppl to try new paths with min time/money. No substitute for actually doing the work to see if it's best!
Can we pick D. All of the above? It takes a village - filled with meaningful relationships.

Q4: Who needs to play a role in shaping those experiences? K-12? Higher Ed? Companies? Others?
The resources provided by ts that are available for student experiences should be valuable, reliable, and resourceful.
parents sometimes do not feel they are responsible for "teaching"
Competency profiles + competency-based job postings = Competency marketplace. Will provide GPS for human cap dev't.
A4. Can we pick D. All of the above? It takes a village - filled with meaningful relationships.
We can't wait for schools to lead. As a , I'm learning on the job right now. Community-building starts w/ our modeling

A4 It should be all stakeholders who shape it - Parents, ts, admins, companies
the do an amazing job of this
at least were seeing many ts starting to trend in the right direction. Let's hope all hop on board
A4: Partnerships are key to ensure good transitions from high school to higher ed to careers. - LT
Q4: It's tough. Very few employers want to take a chance on someone unproven so students must close the skills gap themselves
A4 I think individual learners must have significant voice & this can't be limited to policymakers and formal schools.
!!!
A lesson in adult collaboration? https://t.co/eXjbCvYAWN
A4. Agree with all that it takes a village. But what if we don't share the same vision for what these experiences should be?

A4 Formal learning orgs establish some pathways, but they are harmful when they claim a monopoly on "valid" / "vetted" learning
You see similar issues when it comes to school integration and parent choice.
Q5 coming up in 1 minute…
Usual suspects like ASU, SNHU, Georgia State, Brandman. But also others like Davidson and CUNY. They get it.

OMG. Also just shows how accessible our world is. What a great thing for a kiddo to learn!
exactly, but faster having both data structure foundations and applied knowledge
A4: Career education needs to start early. Studies show kids narrow down career interests as early as middle school. - LT
Sure. Put Northeastern on the list.
Closing the skills gap should be a top priority for businesses, gov’t, and academia.
so very true! And so true that sparse career ed taking place in elementary

A3: the greatest thing we can teach is a love of learning https://t.co/gbkoyC6eSz
Q3: What kinds of experiences do students (& adults) now need to continue picking up skills throughout their learning journey?
We haven't come across startups that have cracked the K-12 assessment piece successfully.
How would you find that? Sometimes that can be the harder part.
Well said...parents must speak same language too!
Thats the hope. Heres a question: more imptant to focus on 21st C skills/coding, or integratin schools?
We're looking hard. Ask me again next month!
Good Q I think we can. programs are starting to. https://t.co/R61bbfs5dG
can we show families that this kind of empathy will create a better learning environment for their kids?
I argue that the most humane approach is an ecosystem w/ many/varied sources of vetting
A5 city/county wide collaboration centers. re-envisioning after school "clubs"
Let us know when you've got a good list!
Communication is key and having everyone around the table. But what table? https://t.co/h1Y744MctH

I wrestle w/ how to balance diversity of "vetters" with the need to protect students
I will undoubtedly be writing about it in EdSurge.
preferably a round table. :)
A5 Passionate people always step up to tackle big problems - sometimes for financial gain, sometimes not. See Code Academies.
Anyone come close, in your opinion?
A5: just celebrated the worlds largest open house last week ! https://t.co/8eIaH8JjKw
Q5: How different stakeholders come together to better support more opportunities for lifelong learning & skill acquisition?
A5 A start is to nurture greater appreciation for a wonderfully diverse learning ecosystem for formal & informal learning.
Mkt recognition = key. Too many workers trying to skill up waste money on schemes.
Being agile is a must. Education providers should constantly seek feedback from employers and students https://t.co/U5S5x4uw0J
Q5: How different stakeholders come together to better support more opportunities for lifelong learning & skill acquisition?
A5: the sooner we see stakeholders as contributors to a learning ecosystem, the sooner we'll mobilize cc
A5: GHO and Skype have helped bridge the gap and provided Ss with opportunities to learn from researchers, etc.
1/2 educators need to balance what students learn with how they learn. In this way, budding scholars not only..
Started our company with these students we called "Student Advisors". We have Ss convos - but not enough!
A4: partnered with on a diversity scholarship so they can cultivate their own diverse talent pipeline
A4: Teachers are their own best advocates. Most businesses and companies LOVE supporting schools but are not properly utilized.
And to learn from & share with the world.
Is that enough, or does integration need more targeted effort?
2/2 master subjects, but become confident, empowered and excited in their ability to learn.
A5: is a great model! https://t.co/8eIaH8JjKw
Q5: How different stakeholders come together to better support more opportunities for lifelong learning & skill acquisition?
A5: the longer we see learning as 'what takes place in schools, during school years,' the longer we'll lag and under-live
Yes. Provides connections and gives the opportunities they might not otherwise experience.
A5: A healthy dose of respect for the teaching profession will also go a long way when meeting with stakeholders.
I like that! My challenge to you would be next level. Make those partnerships powerful so it helps us all?
I agree - Skype has given them a window into the real working world!
Q6 coming up in 1 minute…
Engaging board meeting, eh? ;)
A5: cross-level conferences and symposiums are a place to start relationships.
or partner with those who do it well already.
Logging off for the night, ladies and gents. Lots of great ideas. It's been a privilege!
Q6: If you could create the perfect learning journey throughout your lifetime, what would it look like?
We have to address inequity 1st. & foremost. Housing, school integration, 21C learning, all above https://t.co/nVw7WJYrss
does it have to be either/or? Why can't we use the profitability of 21st C skills to build a bridge between students?
A6 It would be cool to break up college into 4 decades; go 1 year for every 10- your learning can keep up w/your evolving self
To close today's skills gap and help employers and the underemployed alike, we need accelerated skills retraining
Q5: having students create projects for businesses/other global locations-then peer review
https://t.co/8s9zy5ubx8
Q6: If you could create the perfect learning journey throughout your lifetime, what would it look like?

Brilliant! https://t.co/cgAhpb3xBq

Q6: If you could create the perfect learning journey throughout your lifetime, what would it look like?
A6: Maybe a journey like my Gma's mentioned before. Never ending. Formal and informal. Making the world just a bit better.
A3 Also, XPs that involve abnegation of the self/ego help: working in development, volunteering, sharing skills, helping others
Invest in a generation-agnostic, culturally relevant in every town. We're all makers-Let's model opps from on
makes sense, but curious to follow them 7-10 years out compared w/ grads from both
Education is like a rocket booster. Timing and quantity matter a lot.
A4: seems like different stakeholders have different roles, no?
they are "practice ready" - lots of employers seek that, in coding & beyond.
