What do we need to be doing in the future?



At a recent All Faculty Meeting, Andrew shared a video about the future of world, specifically looking at the Fourth Revolution. How do we look at the future of the world and prepare our students for it? 



The faculty were asked to consider what do we need to be doing that we aren’t doing? The answers given by the faculty fell into many different categories. Seventy-eight percent of the answers fell within these these six:
  1. create ways to integrate the content areas
  2. creating opportunities for students to direct/personalize their own learning
  3. engage 21st century skills to keep learning relevant
  4. use and structure time differently
  5. modeling the learning process, and our mission, values and vision
  6. develop service learning experiences. 


Among many things that we might consider as we move toward our Building Futures Plan for 2018-2021 is what we can do to address several of these ideas at once. I've chosen three to focus on for this blog post. 

Share in the comments what might we do that would address all of these needs? What ideas do you have for helping them become part of our learning culture here at AISC?


We will have opportunity in future blog posts to engage in conversations about other ideas that emerged from this activity.
