Innovation in a Changing Education Landscape

Wharton Education Network (WhEN) and Speaker Series Committee

 
The K-12 education landscape is evolving rapidly. The advent of new technology into the school and classroom has provided teachers, students, and administrators with a new toolset with its own set of opportunities and challenges. Measuring and tracking data on learning outcomes has now been brought to the forefront of the debate. How can investors, entrepreneurs, and non-profits effect positive change in K-12 education?

Join the Wharton Education Network as we sit down with the leadership team from the Catalyst @ Penn GSE – the University of Pennsylvania’s center for global education innovation - for an evening of appetizers, drink and a lively discussion about this evolving educational landscape.

Michael Golden, the Executive Director of Catalyst @ Penn GSE and John Gamba the Director of Innovative Programs and Entrepreneur in Residence, will join us to share insights into this evolution and moderate a panel discussion with a group of education investors and entrepreneurs. 

Our panelists will include:
