Scarsdale School's An Evening with Tony Wagner Tonight

America's schools face the critical challenge of preparing today's youth to succeed and lead in the complex world of the new century. To meet that goal, the Scarsdale School District has launched initiatives such as the Global Learning Alliance, its international benchmarking effort, and the Center for Innovation, a K-12 think-tank dedicated to broad-scale school improvement. To the best of our knowledge, these are global and national firsts, respectively.

Our commitment to prepare graduates for an increasingly interdependent world has also led us to reach out to Scarsdale and beyond for perspective and advice.  As a result of that outreach, tonight, Wednesday December 5, the Center for Innovation is hosting "An Evening with Tony Wagner," author of Creating Innovators and The Global Achievement Gap.

Dr. Wagner will speak and take questions from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the High School auditorium.

This free presentation is open to all members of the Scarsdale community. (Register now at: www.scarsdaleschools.org/tonywagner.)
