For many, 2020 will be remembered as the greatest education crisis in living memory as lockdowns put an abrupt halt to regular in-school learning and school and system leaders, as well as teachers, parents, and students, had to rapidly switch to remote teaching. As schools cautiously reopen, what changes, if any, will the COVID-19 crisis have wrought on learners, schools, and education systems as a whole?
Following on from the three-part series – Education Disrupted, Education Reimagined – held in the midst of the crisis, Salzburg Global and the World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE) will examine what leadership is needed to continue to navigate this difficult time and what positive changes can be embedded in schools and education systems beyond the pandemic-induced crisis.
In the midst of this crisis, as schools and systems leaders were developing and implementing rapid-response schemes at a pace and scale never seen before to help children learn remotely, important and necessary conversations were had at a global level regarding the challenges and deficits within systems themselves: The pervasive and systemic inequities that permeate our schools and our systems; the need to humanize our education approaches and recognize that learning is a deeply connected, collaborative, life-long pursuit; and the need to prioritize key competencies such as social and emotional learning and wellbeing in the quest to create resilient and future-thriving learning environments.
These conversations struck at the very core of education itself, inspiring deep and necessary reflection on the part of education stakeholders at all levels on the purpose and values that lie at the heart of schooling.
This online event will build on the success of the 2020 Education Disrupted, Education Reimagined series. We will bring together key stakeholders from education systems around the world to examine key educational challenges and priorities for the new year, with a focus on leadership – including the role of school and system leaders, as well as amplifying the voices of our youth and next generation education leaders – in supporting and influencing sustainable education reform and change making processes for holistic school improvement and equity.
This public online program is in two parts, which mirror one another but aimed at speakers and audience from different time zones.
Each part consists primarily of two panel discussions in which we will hear from experts from around the world and offer opportunity for all participants to pose questions and share links and related information via the chat function.
This program is open to public registration. We encourage the participation of people working in education, especially education leadership.
