So…what courses aren’t we teaching in K-12 and in higher ed that we need to be teaching to help our students get prepared for this quickly-changing situation in the workplace? Now? In the near future?
What’s some good career advice (or resources) out there?
Dan Pink’s A Whole New Mind is one resource that comes to mind.
