The Future Isn’t Standardized: A Film Screening and Conversation

As work, learning, and society evolve, what should school hold onto—and what must it be willing to change? This moderated screening and conversation features curated clips from Most Likely to Succeed and Multiple Choice that explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping learning, work, and postsecondary pathways. Through contrasting school models—project-based, experiential learning and career-connected education grounded in mentorship—participants examine how skills for college, employment, and durable human development are cultivated. The session also surfaces a central parent dilemma: choosing between innovative models aligned to a child’s needs or traditional pathways long viewed as the safest route to success. Blending film, guided reflection, and peer dialogue, this interactive experience invites educators, families, and system leaders to consider why schools look the way they do, how AI accelerates change, and what it means to prepare young people for an uncertain future.
