Program

There has been a lot of planning–coupled with unprecedented funding–in Washington to create what the President calls a ‘world-class education system.’ The basic premise is that countries who out-teach America today will out-compete us tomorrow. Asia Society’s Partnership for Global Learning is assembling experts, business leaders, policymakers, and practitioners to explore global competence and share innovative ideas and models that work.

The Asia Society Partnership for Global Learning annual conference is the only one that brings together educators, business leaders, policymakers and resource providers to focus on developing American students’ global competence.  The conference will involve informative reports, audience feedback and speaker dialogue around themes of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and international perspectives on improving  teaching quality.  Developing a world-class education system that prepares all students for the global economy as a key education goal is the highlight of the opening dinner. The dinner will feature a discussion by prominent figures in education, business and policy.

Come with Colleagues

We encourage school, district and state teams to attend the conference together to leverage the benefit to their students. As such, the program is designed to promote a free flow of ideas and conversations among individuals with expertise in classroom practice, education administration, professional development and public policy.
