Program

There has been a lot discussions around the world about how to prepare the rising generation for an interconnected world. The OECD has shown that countries whose students score well on PISA tests today will find greater success 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 (download program) 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.
