Educators throughout the Los Angeles area were treated to an evening with internationally renowned author, speaker, and leader in the field of education, Sir Ken Robinson. In 2006, Sir Ken Robinson spoke at a TED (Technology, Entertainment, and Design) conference that is considered one of the most-watched videos on TED with over 8 million views, and his thought-provoking discourse on the way we educate children has been described as visionary. On November 4, 2001, over 700 educators from more than 100 schools were inspired by his ideas on the betterment of education.

 

The event held by the Center for the Future of Elementary Education (CFEE) at Curtis School was dubbed a resounding success as noted by the flourish of compliments received by their Poll Everywhere Response Wall.  This Response Wall was featured prominently at the event on a 17′ projection screen both before formal remarks and during the Town Hall session.  Still collecting responses, the Response Wall has been embedded on the cfee site.  Poll Everywhere worked closely with organizer Christopher Thinnes, Head of Upper Elementary School & Academic Dean, Curtis School, to develop a plan that fit their needs.

Congratulations to the organizers of this event and for continuing to promote and advance the future of education.
