Approximately 3,000 superintendents will be in attendance at the 3-day National Conference on Education from February 14-16.
Dr. Kim Oppelt will moderate a panel with Dr. Jeff Butts, Superintendent of MSD of Wayne Township, and Dr. Susan Enfield, Superintendent of Highline Public Schools. The panel, "Preparing Life-Ready Students: Expanding the Definition of College and Career Readiness," will be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center in room 513. The panel will discuss the need to expand the definition of college and career readiness to incorporate social-emotional, interpersonal, and transition skills that students need to thrive post-high school. This expert panel of district leaders devoted to preparing life-ready students will discuss the strategies, partnerships, and funding their districts leveraged to prepare their students to succeed in whatever path they choose.
"Expanding college and career readiness is an integral part of preparing students for whatever path they choose in life," said Monica Morrell, General Manager of Naviance by Hobsons. "Naviance is proud to present to thousands of superintendents at AASA 2019 our latest research on the key competencies students need in order to be best prepared for life after high school."
