Summary
Two-year olds are entering preschool and learning on iPads. Primary schools are considering the role supportive environments play on students’ learning. Admission to college is a tangible goal for many, but cost and completion remain a challenge.
Via the stream below beginning at 8:30 am Eastern, join The Atlantic for our first annual Education Summit where we will gather educators, innovators and policymakers to examine America’s education system from cradle to college and explore changes that could improve how we approach learning in the years to come.
