of the next century!

4. NZ in the 1950s

5. Future of literacy?
The Associated Press uses
Automated Insights’
Wordsmith platform to create more
than 3,000 financial reports per
quarter. It published a story on
Apple’s latest record-busting
earnings within minutes of their
release. Forbes uses Narrative
Science’s Quill platform for similar
efforts and refers to the firm as a
partner.

6. The dirty rusty wooden dresser drawer.
A couple million people wearing drawers,
Or looking through a lonely oven door,
Flowers covered under marble floors.
And lying sleeping on an open bed.
And I remember having started tripping,
Or any angel hanging overhead,
Without another cup of coffee dripping.
Surrounded by a pretty little sergeant,
Another morning at an early crawl.
And from the other side of my apartment,
An empty room behind the inner wall.
A thousand pictures on the kitchen floor,
Talked about a hundred years or more.
And what if from distress comes something fine,
And following this dress-rehearsal pain
Gives way to Joy, mistress of ardor, art,
And love, who sure this mess would straighten
out?
For Joy has no illusions of a break;
She brooks many ill fusions of extremes,
And shares her light ‘till few suns could compete;
Her binding love makes twos ones and keeps
peace.
So best not make a strumpet of this Joy,
Assert that she pays some debt with her smile,
Or name to her a numb set of stale sparks;
She never has succumbed yet, bless her heart.
Her love is full and indiscriminate
And even so you’ll find no sin in it.

7. CORE’s Ten Trends
● Patterns…
● General direction…
● Regular change over time…
● General course…
● Prevailing tendencies…
NOT predictions
● Focused on five key themes…
Ten
Trends
Themes

8. Ten
Trends
Themes
Those things influencing the culture
of our organisations and what
happens within them.
Recognizing the multiple demands
on limited resources, and the need
to prepare our young people for a
changing economic future.
The significant shifts that are
occurring as a result of technological
advances.
Things likely to impact how our
schools are organized and managed
Considering the things that are
impacting on how things are done
within our institutions.
http://www.core-ed.org/thought-leadership/ten-trends

9. • Super-diversity
• Digital fluency
• Digital citizenship
• Identity and privacy
• Cyber-safety
• Global connectedness
• De-privatised practice
• Learner agency
• Artificial intelligence
The product of the beliefs,
perceptions, relationships,
attitudes, and written and
unwritten rules that shape
and influence behaviour.
Wellbeing
Cultural narratives

10. • Computational Thinking
• Future workforce
• Future of work
• Sustainability
• “Open-ness”
• STEM/STEAM
• Automation
The way we generate wealth
and the skill sets required to
contribute to this are key
elements in any economy.
Understanding
success
Human capital

11. • Equitable access.
• Identity and access management.
• System integration
• Mobile and ‘touch’ technologies
• Big Data and analytics
• 3D printing
• Virtual and mixed reality platforms
• Artificial intelligence
• The cloud
• Blockchain
The pervasive nature of change
that occurs when a new
technology is introduced – it is
not additive, it is ecological.
Social mapping
Real-time reporting

12. • Networked communities
• Community focus
• Private Public Partnerships
• Alternative forms of assessment
• Learning record stores
• Learning ecologies
• Virtual Learning
Educational institutions are by
nature, very reliant on the
structures that give them their
identity and serve to support
what they do and the way they
do it.
Schools as part of
community
Changing role of
teachers

13. • Change Leadership
• Design thinking
• Gamification
• Deep Learning
• Inclusive Education
• Collaboration
• Data Science
Simply put, process may be
understood as ‘the way we
do things’ Micro-credentials
Big data/ small
data

14. Our changing world
When you think about the future what comes to mind?
What must we do to prepare students for living and working in
the 21st century?
How must our schools and teachers change to meet these
opportunities and challenges?

15. What it means to be educated

16. The future…?
Future of work
In many industries and countries,
the most in-demand occupations
or specialties did not exist 10 or
even five years ago, and the pace
of change is set to accelerate. By
one popular estimate, 65% of
children entering primary school
today will ultimately end up
working in completely new job
types that don’t yet exist.”
2016, World Economic Forum, Davos, Switzerland
Future of School
“Schools need to drive a shift from a
world where knowledge that is
stacked up somewhere depreciating
rapidly in value towards a world in
which the enriching power of
communication and collaborative
flows is increasing”
OECD Schooling redesigned: Foreword

17. Education systems should…
• Make learning central, where learners
understand themselves as learners
• Ensure that learning is social and often collaborative
• Be highly attuned to learners’ motivations
and the importance of emotions
• Be acutely sensitive to individual differences including in prior knowledge
• Use assessments consistent with its aims, with a strong emphasis on formative
feedback
• Promote horizontal connectedness across activities and subjects, in and out of
school
http://www.oecd.org/education/schooling-redesigned-9789264245914-en.htm

20. What can be done?
• Focus on capabilities
• Celebrate cultural diversity
• Educate for understanding and
critical engagement
• Develop learner agency and voice
• Embrace risk and failure
• Emphasize character and citizenship
• Localise your curriculum
• Engage in social good projects
BE FUTURE MAKERS!
Take care of our children
Take care of what they hear
Take care of what they see
Take care of what they feel
For how the children grow
So will be the shape of Aotearoa.

22. Are we there yet?
• Working in your community group
• Take the cards and discuss how that relates to what is happening in
your community – provide specific examples
• Place the cards on a continuum on your table or the floor – from “yep
that’s us” to ”not yet”
• Identify specific things you might work towards in your community to
make the statement better reflect your practice
• Note any questions or wonderings that might still exist

23. Collaboration is key
• Student-student collaboration
• Teacher collaboration
• Communities of practice
• Professional learning groups
• Moving from me to we
• Learning as a ‘collective’ activity

24. What conventional teachers do…
• Cater for their class as a whole
• Focus on curriculum coverage and achievement
• Place more emphasis on examinations and results
rather than understanding of concepts
• Model expertise and ‘knowing’
• Plan activities to ensure ‘coverage’
• Prioritise engagement with and completion of
work/tasks
• Emphasise a didactic approach
What expansive teachers do
• Notice and comment on children’s developing
learning dispositions
• Focus ‘feedback’ on aspects of learnable capacity
• Get students talking and writing about the ‘how’ of
learning
• Display learning images and work in progress
• Model inquisitive and fallible learners
• Plan activities that deliberately stretch various
learning dispositions
• Encourage extended, difficult learning projects
• Involve learners as resources, teachers and co-
designers

25. What we know about learning…
• Initial response
• What does this statement suggest to us?
• What do we find agreement with?
• What do we have questions or concerns about?
• What does it look like?
• What are some examples of what this looks like or how it is enacted in my
current teaching situation?
• If you could replace the original text with one word
what would that be?

29. The possibilities of billions of people connected by mobile devices, with
unprecedented processing power, storage capacity, and access to
knowledge, are unlimited.
And these possibilities will be multiplied by emerging technology
breakthroughs in fields such as artificial intelligence, robotics, the Internet
of Things, autonomous vehicles, 3-D printing, nanotechnology,
biotechnology, materials science, energy storage, and quantum computing.
