With almost one-third of students nationwide graduating without the skills necessary to succeed, the Classroom of the Future Foundation handed out its 14th Annual Innovation in Education Awards to recognize local educators and programs preparing San Diego County students with the skills required for their future careers. “Each year, the foundation recognizes local classroom leaders and programs that expand student learning through innovative teaching techniques,” said James Wright, CEO at Classroom of the Future Foundation. “This year’s awardees exemplify the unique ways local students are learning to thrive in today’s competitive, global society.”
