ASU+GSV Summit: How to Give Students the Modern Skills They Need to Thrive

 

The modern student is in a difficult situation.

Not only have the scenarios in which they learn changed tremendously, but so have the skills required to succeed outside the walls of educational institutions.

Today’s world asks more of kids entering the workforce and “real” life than ever before, and they need 21st-century literacy, learning and life skills to match.

That’s where Encantos enters the fray.

Encantos is the self-described leader in “storyteaching,” in which the organization works with “authentic storytellers to tell authentic stories from diverse perspectives, [with] each one is matched with the 21st century literacy, learning and life skills they best model.”
