School and district leaders are facing increasing pressure to equip students with modern life skills, like A.I. and media literacies, high-character decision-making, and healthy tech habits, while also supporting educators and engaging families. But too often, these priorities are tackled through a fragmented mix of vendors, one-off programs, and time-consuming internal efforts that stretch budgets thin.
What if there were a more streamlined, cost-effective way to support your entire school community?
Join The Social Institute and Danielle Goetsch from Pierce High School for an inside look at how schools across the country are rethinking their approach, saving time, maximizing budgets, and building stronger, more aligned communities.
In this interactive session, you’ll hear how Pierce High School effectively funded and implemented modern life skills education across students, educators, and families, and how your school or district can do the same.
What you’ll gain:
- Consolidate budgets: Learn how schools are funding one comprehensive solution instead of juggling multiple vendors
- Scale impact: Discover how to bring modern life skills to students, educators, and families across grade levels
- Streamline your approach: Reduce vendor overload while increasing engagement and long-term outcomes
