On Monday, February 27, 2012, educators met at Chicago Shakespeare Theater for the first of a series of public conversations about the future of education. "Beyond These Times" is a working collaboration between Chicago Shakespeare Theater, National Louis University, and the Golden Apple Foundation. "Lessons from the Future" features prominent authors and visionaries join early career educators for a close look at the challenges and promises of a future we can only begin to imagine.
