The document discusses future focused learning and how schools can prepare students. It suggests that schools should:
1) Learn from the past to understand history and how it shapes the present.
2) Look to the future by understanding trends and preparing students for an uncertain world with skills like problem solving.
3) Empower students to live in the present by developing their agency, allowing more flexible learning, and focusing on competencies over standardized tests.

Future focused schools: aligning strategies to realise positive change - Slides used in my Future Focus Schools online workshop on 5 May and 21 October, 2020
Keynote presentation for the Education Leaders Forum - New Zealand. Abstract: The COVID pandemic has thrown back the curtain on a great deal of what needs to be improved or addressed in our current education system, including a high degree of inequity across all areas, especially access to onlinelearning.
The responses we saw during the 2020 lockdowns promised some transformative action and outcomes. But slowly we’ve seen a ‘return to the old normal’ mindset. The ‘big ideas’ that were evident have faded into obscurity as the old patterns of thinking and acting take over.
Overview of CORE's Ten Trends 2020 - A retrospective view. Providing insights into the things that are likely to impact on the practice of educators and work of schools into the future
Community presentation made to the Ellesmere Cluster near Christchurch. Outlines the case for re-thinking our approach to education in the 21st century, and how this applies to the use of technology, planning for learning spaces, and changes in teacher practice.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. LEARN
from the past
Understanding our histories, and
the things that have shaped our
lives helps us see how past events
have relevance in our life now.
LOOK
to the future
While it is impossible to accurately
predict the future, we can seek to
understand the trends that are
impacting our lives at every level.
LIVE
in the present
It is the decisions we make and
the actions we take in the present
that will ultimately determine
what our future looks like.
4. LEARN FROM THE PAST
To know something about someone's
past, and how it has shaped who they
are today, so enriches your
relationship. We share a rich tapestry
of history, as tangata whenua and
tangata Tiriti. A knowledge of that
history is the basis of mutual respect
and understanding, and a rock-solid
foundation for national unity in all our
cultural diversity.
Sir Pita Sharples (2012 History Matters).
5. Standardization
• Frederick Taylor 1856 – 1915
• Introduced ‘scientific managment” –
placing systems above man
• Provoked standardization of education
• Thorndike – “the main goal of education
is to sort young people according to their
ability”

6. Industrialisation of schools
“These educational Taylorists pointed out
that while it was nice to think about
humanistic ideas like educational self-
determination, at a time when many public
schools had a hundred kids in a single
classroom, half unable to speak English,
many living in poverty, educators did not
have the luxury of giving young people the
freedom to be whatever they wanted to
be.”

8. Beyond the conveyor belt…
I believe schools have a vital role to play in
helping young people explore the new ways
of thinking and working. All of the schools I
visited spoke of the need for transformation
in education. Leaders in these schools all
believed the traditional model was beset
with stressed students, over-worked staff,
university dropouts, conflicted parents,
subject silo-ization, and conveyor belt
schooling.

9. Education Exposed
https://wenmoth.net/2020/07/18/why-innovate-teaching-and-learning/
“The global COVID-19 pandemic has pulled back the curtain
on what our kids are doing at school and exposed
weaknesses in many of the philosophical understandings
that guide our work (both explicitly and implicitly), and in
the structures and processes that define how we work with
our students and the expectations we have of them etc.”

15. “To help students address
unknown future problems,
curricula need to focus on
areas with the highest

• 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

22. LIVE IN THE PRESENT
“The future depends on
what we do in the present.”
Mahatma Gandhi
Image: https://www.flickr.com/photos/jimforest/2398652242
26. “Sustained higher achievement is
possible when teachers use
approaches that enable students
to take charge of their own
learning. Such approaches do not
leave the students to “discover” in
an unstructured environment.
Rather, they are highly structured
in supporting student agency and
sustained and thoughtful
engagement.”
Alton-Lee, A (2003) Quality teaching for diverse students in schooling; Best Evidence
Synthesis
29. In essence, students work together
and are responsible for one another’s
learning as well as their own.
Emphasizing thinking and increasing
higher-order learning, it has a range of
educational benefits, including an
alternative to ability grouping and as a
way to prepare students for an
increasingly collaborative workforce.

Goals (SDGs)
There is no more powerful transformative
force than education—to promote human
rights and dignity, to eradicate
poverty and deepen sustainability, to build
a better future for all, founded on equal
rights and social justice, respect for cultural
diversity, and international solidarity and
shared responsibility, all of which are
fundamental aspects of our common
humanity.”

• Transcends political borders, and assumes that responsibilities
and rights can be derived from being a 'citizen of the world’
• Developing core competencies which allow learners to actively
engage with the world.
• Building understanding of world events.
• Take learning into the real world.
• About education for social justice1
• A better and more sustainable future for all

your future. You have to trust in
something – your gut, destiny, life,
karma, whatever. This approach has
never let me down, and it has made all
the difference in my life.”
Steve Jobs
34. LEARN
from the past
Understanding our histories, and
the things that have shaped our
lives helps us see how past events
have relevance in our life now.
LIVE
in the present
It is the decisions we make and
the actions we take in the present
that will ultimately determine
what our future looks like.
LOOK
to the future
While it is impossible to accurately
predict the future, we can seek to
understand the trends that are
impacting our lives at every level.
