Creating Knowledge to Drive Knowledge Creation
In keeping with the goal of continually advancing beyond best practices, we are focusing our Knowledge Building Summer Institute on “creating knowledge to drive knowledge creation”. In global knowledge-based economies, the fundamental challenge is to find ways to increase the ability of individuals and groups in all sectors of society to create and work with knowledge—to develop “21st century knowledge and skills.” This year’s conference is aimed at advancing the state of knowledge necessary to meet this fundamental challenge. This conference provides a unique opportunity to meet and learn from educators, researchers, students and policy makers who share the goal of preparing citizens and organizations for work in a Knowledge Age.
Who Should Attend the Summer Institute?
Individuals:
Teachers, managers, graduate students, researchers, health care professionals, administrators, policy makers—who have heard or read about knowledge building and who want to become better acquainted with knowledge building concepts and approaches.
