Our children will come of age in a world far more globally connected and competitive than at any time in history. Will they be ready?
 
Please join us for a special evening with Dr. Tony Wagner, one of the nation’s foremost education experts.  He'll outline new skills that students must have to succeed in a “flat” world and share innovative strategies to help them navigate the academic, career and citizenship challenges that await them.  

Dr. Wagner is co-director of the Change Leadership Group at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. He is author of The Global Achievement Gap: Why Even Our Best Schools Don’t Teach the New Survival Skills Our Children Need – And What We Can Do About It.   

All Common Ground Speaker Series events are free of charge to the parents, faculty and staff of member schools. Guests from non-member schools are welcome to attend for a $20 fee at the door. Light refreshments are offered 30 minutes prior to the event and books are available for purchase.
