\u201c[Work offers] social mobility, personal satisfaction, and a range of other rewards that are almost impossible to describe.\u201d – Jamie Merisotis<\/p>\n

Dr. Jamie Merisotis, <\/strong>author of Human Work in the Age of Smart Machines<\/em><\/strong>, addresses three areas in which humans can improve:<\/p>\n

Adaptability and Problem Solving
\nThe Heart and People Skills
\nThe Learning for Life Perspective<\/strong><\/p>\n

Research suggests humans will not be replaced, but rather the work of humans will change. Innovation is what drives the future; therefore our educational system needs to focus on preparing students to solve complex problems, be adaptable, and to work with others. We need to focus on building human work traits like our capacity for compassion, empathy, and our ability to be ethical. Learning for life should be more than just continuous education; rather our focus should be on talent development throughout our lives. The work of the future needs to include such things as skill and trade certifications, continuing education, onboarding, cross training, retraining, while diversifying and supporting an employee\u2019s desire to grow.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We invite you to further consider how we might reimagine and redesign schools and education through the ideas discussed in Dr. Jamie Merisotis’ Human Work in the Age of Smart Machines<\/a>, <\/strong>as well as\u00a0the presentation and recording below.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Thank you for your time and \"\" consideration,<\/p>\n
