A Campus-wide Dialogue with Tom Carroll, President
National Commission on Teaching and America's Future
Wednesday, December 9, 2009, 10:30 - noon, 11th floor JCK

The "flat world" rewards continuous learning, sustained teamwork, and flexible adaptation to change. Today's students need schools that are orgnized around these principles. They need teachers who know how to create a learning culture that fosters the communication and innovative problem solving abilities they will use throughout their careers.

--Tom Carroll, Building a 21st Century U.S. Education System, 2007

• How will the preparation of teachers and other school and community leaders be different as schools transform into 21st century learning organizations?
• What are the implications for higher education as graduates of such learning organizations move from public schools into universities?

All faculty, students and community members are invited to join Dr. Carroll as he addresses these and other compelling questions.
