Why I hate school but love
education!
The Lost Generation

4. “Education is a vision of what it is
that our children will need if they are
going to flourish in the world that
we predict it to be. What knowledge
and skills, what attitudes and values
will stand them in good stead as
they embark on life in a globalized
and digitized future?”
Guy Claxton

● Stock- take- where are we now?
● Where do we want to go?
● How do we achieve these goals?
● How do we prepare our students for the future that is
yet to be defined?

6. What is important for our students to learn?
Knowledge Dispositions
“the essence of what educators must do in the future
is the very same as it's always been: to help students
learn the relevant skills, knowledge, attitudes,
attributes, and behaviours that they'll need to be
good and productive citizens, parents, and workers.”
Jukes

What makes a difference is
