Engaged in a fascinating group discussion today led by Mark Wagner, PhD, at the Korea EdTechTeam GAFE Summit. The questions we tackled were all about the features of schools that make them "future ready." FutureReadySchools.org is just getting off the ground, but they have some powerful ideas about the mindset we need to get into to really prepare students for the future. The core requirements for future-readiness are:
Courageous Leadership
Empowered Teachers
Student Agency
Inspiring Spaces
and these are supported by Infrastructure and Software/Hardware.
We had a great conversation unpacking and sharing on the meanings and potential meanings of these components. I believe this is a movement to watch over the next months and years. Could be transformative for schools, and I'm especially encouraged that they are paying attention to international schools! Keep an eye on www.futurereadyschools.org
