Education in the Innovation Age: Lunch & Dialogue with Ted Dintersmith, Executive Producer 'Most Likely to Succeed'
Monday, November 2 from 12:30 - 2 PM in DCAL
Join us at DCAL for a unique opportunity to dialogue with Ted Dintersmith, Executive Producer of Most Likely to Succeed, a documentary about reforming our education system in what he calls the "innovation age."
The film promotes teaching practices aligned with Dartmouth's ongoing tradition of experiential learning and student engagement while raising questions that can further propel us forward. Most Likely to Succeed premiered at Sundance, was accepted at all the major
film festivals, and is only available for viewing in community screenings. Dartmouth will host a public screening of the film later in the day. Capacity for this lunch session is limited, so please register if you plan to attend.
