Catalyze Learning International (CLI). His address is titled New Generations
of Learning and he will speak about how the mix of multiple generations teaching
and learning together creates a complex educational process; how mobile
devices, gaming, social networking, and high-impact presentation technologies
and analytics are presenting new challenges to in-class and online learning
environments; and what we can do to retain the human touch in making these
learning environments sustainable.

on The Rosenwald Initiative titled Is It Really About The Kids? In addition,
there will be a pre-conference workshop on Planning School Safety and twelve
sessions covering different educational facilities topics.
The
conference will provide attendees with a variety of topics that cover various
aspects of educational facility design and maintenance. I hope that you or someone from your staff
will attend this conference and contribute your experiences to the forum. There also will be an election of new
officers for the coming year in which we hope you will participate.
