“I’m thrilled to share the stage with two true pioneers in transforming education,” said Rep. Morgan. “It was a great opportunity to share my vision for education in Georgia and how we can deliver a student centered, personalized learning environment for every child.”
Rep. Morgan joined Director Richard Crandall, Wyoming Department of Education, and Deputy Secretary James Shelton, U.S. Department of Education as a keynote speaker on the topic of Driving an Innovative Policy Roadmap Toward the Transformation of Student Learning.
These three leaders offered remarks on the future of policy toward student-centered learning and explored policy strategies and approaches to promote innovation, improve technology infrastructure, provide better transparency of quality programs and create space for innovation so that all students are prepared to succeed.
