The SkillRise team are delighted to be in Florida for this thoughtful conference!
We are at #OLCAccelerate here in Orlando. Here are some of the key takeaways: Adult Ed and K12 needs might not be exactly the same but they are crossing over more than ever. There is a desire and need to bridge the gap between the systems. AI, of course, but AI in ways that can embrace programming design and change and not be a stand alone 'tech solution'. Scalability = sustainability.. and in turn is a major way to accelerate accessibility. Career Readiness is becoming increasingly more front and center as alternative pathways are booming. It is wonderful to also spend time in person with fantastic colleagues Caitlin McLemore, Ed.D., PMP and Erin Dowd. Thank you OLC for such good programming! I'm off for more exploration and conversations. ISTE ASCD #isteseal SkillRise #OLCAccelerate #KtoGrey #education

"Adult Ed is as much about the child as it is the adult... education unlocks doors for adult to help breakdown generational traumas and can create opportunities for the whole family to thrive." (Overheard at #ProLit2024)
