"Beyond These Times" is a working collaboration between three Chicago landmark nonprofit organizations: Chicago Shakespeare Theater, National Louis University, and the Golden Apple Foundation. Join us for a free public conversation where prominent authors and visionaries join early career educators for a close look at the challenge and promise of a future we can only begin to imagine. What will schools look like? How will the role of the educator change? What will be the impact of technology? What do we need to be doing today to prepare our teachers and our children for a very different tomorrow? The guest speaker is Dr. Kieran Egan, a professor in the faculty of education at Simon Fraser University, Canada and the founder and director of the Imaginative Education Research Group.
