Chris Lehmann, founding principal of the Science Leadership Academy, will keynote the annual Tech & Learning Live @ Chicagocoming to theCrowne Plaza O'Hare on Friday May 6, 2016.
Lehmann will kick off a day of professional learning by presenting ways K-12 school leaders can move toward the next generation of “school.” Taking highlights from his new book, Building School 2.0: How to Create the Schools We Need, he will discuss why schools not only need to change to meet the evolving needs of technology-rich environments, but how schools can take these ideas from theory to practice. Lehmann will present the best strategies schools can use to encourage a culture of research, creativity, communication, and collaboration that will help prepare students to be functional citizens within a modern society.
