Join this lively discussion about what barriers exist today and what policy conditions are needed to unbundle the system.

Skills for Success in Learning, Work, and Life: How Durable Skills Transform a Student’s Experience
Every child has tremendous potential and it’s important our education system provides a personalized, engaging framework so that students are able to develop their cognitive, emotional, social, and academic skills. Combined, these skills put every learner on a successful path of life-long learning and fulfillment. This session will explore how states can design systems to support the whole child, engage adolescents in their own development, and how “Durable Skills” will provide students with the necessary tools to be successful on their personal pathways throughout life.
