South Eastern Regional College Host Learning Revolution – International Online Conference

@S_ERC is set to host an online international conference which challenges the traditional model of education and aims to create a shared view of what is needed to prepare learners for an increasingly uncertain future. The Learning Revolution conference, for educators, parents, policy makers, awarding organisations and entrepreneurs, is online at 2.00pm – 4.00pm GMT on 9 and 14 December 2020.

Heather McKee, Director of Strategic Planning, Quality and Support at SERC said, “The pandemic caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) has been like no other time in education history. Aspects of everyday life – from shopping, to how and where we work, to healthcare – has been subject to unprecedented upheaval.   It has also challenged our view of education and led to an intense level of scrutiny and critical discussion. This new and uncertain era in which we now live, provides an opportunity to change the landscape of education to one where we equip learners with the necessary skills, knowledge ad habits of mind to thrive in what is becoming an increasing ‘unknowable’ future.

She added, “The Learning Revolution conference looks to those who have created deep and sustained change and brings together progressive innovators who have led the way to make fundamental changes to how we educate for the future. Speakers include Julie Wilson, Founder and Executive Director of the Institute for the Future of Learning, Olly Newton, Executive Director of the Edge Foundation and Dr Michael Malone, Director of Curriculum and Information Services at SERC.”

The Learning Revolution Online Conference is free to attend but tickets must be booked online at serc.ac.uk/learning-revolution where you can also view the concept paper.
