Join Taleen as she hosts fascinating and enlightening conversations with a variety of guests and experts to discuss the many intricate facets of our ever-evolving education system. We will compare traditional education to alternative education and beyond (UNSchooling anyone?!); Discover the top technology advances and how to incorporate them into your kiddos' learning plan. I firmly believe that we can prepare today's youth to thrive in tomorrow's world... but we canNOT primarily use yesterday's curriculum/methods.
