Dr. Bill Daggett, is the President and Co-Founder of the International Center for Leadership in Education. On February 19th, Dr. Daggett will speak expertly about four mega-trends, including new and emerging technologies, globalization, changing demographics, and new generations in classrooms. Based on these trends, Dr. Daggett, and his colleagues, including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, are calling us to action.

In his introduction on September 7, Dr. Daggett noted that the United States education system is the greatest in the world, because we are the only ones trying to meet the challenge of excellence and equity – with a good education available to every child being an important American value. At the same time, we must recognize that other countries are outpacing us in achievement because of their sheer numbers of students engaged in rigorous study.
