“Inside California Education provides fertile ground in which to germinate innovative ideas focused on meeting the needs of California’s diverse P-12/ Adult student population. In order to meet the demands of the 21st century and beyond, California’s public education system must prepare students for current challenges and for jobs that currently don’t exist. Watch the series and be part of the conversation.”
