This document discusses future focused education and the need to transform education systems to prepare students for an uncertain future. It argues that education must shift from an industrial, compliance-based model to focus on developing skills like critical thinking, problem solving, creativity and collaboration. Schools need more flexible structures that allow for innovation, collaboration between educators, and input from students and communities. The focus should be on designing the future rather than looking back, and allowing new practices to emerge from the bottom up through an open, adaptive culture of innovation.

Although we are over 20 years into the 21st century, we still struggle to teach these skills that students will need to be successful in the real world. This presentation discusses what these skills are and how you can teach them in your classrooms.

Object-Based Learning (OBL) is a student-centred learning approach that uses objects to facilitate deep learning. Objects may take many forms, small or large, but the method typically involves students handling or working at close quarters with and interrogating physical artefacts.
STEM Process and Project-Based LearningTodd_Stanley
The STEM design process involves asking, imagining, planning, creating, and revising. This cycle fits nicely into the model of project-based learning where students are creating an authentic product to show what they have learned. This shows you how you can incorporate the STEM design process into your projects to ensure maximize learning can take place. Part of this is creating a safe classroom environment where students are permitted to take risks. By doing this, you are giving students permission to fail, which is where the most learning takes place.

2019 New Trends in Education -Teaching Innovation Timothy Wooi
Innovation & Modern approaches to Learning
Introduction
One challenge in public consciousness now is the need to reinvent just about everything, from;
scientific advances,
technology breakthroughs,
political & economic structures,
environmental solutions,
21st century code of ethics, everything is in flux—and everything demands innovative, out of the box thinking.
Here are ten 10 Ways to Teach Innovation
1.Teach concepts, not facts.
2. Move from projects to Project Based Learning.
3. Distinguish concepts from critical information.
4. Make skills as important as knowledge.
5. Form teams, not groups.
6.Use thinking tools.
7. Use creativity tools.
8. Reward discovery.
9. Make reflection part of the lesson.
10. Be innovative yourself.
An overview of some thoughts on effective teaching practice with a focus on literacy, emerging technologies and the needs of current and future millennial learners.

Martin Culkin and Julia Atkins present their 5-year journey – its challenges, change drivers and processes - to undertake a major regeneration project at Dandenong High School in which three existing schools with over 2 000 students were amalgamated, representing 66 nationalities (www.oecd.org/edu/facilities/compendiumlaunch).
Presented at the 2017 Faculty Summer Institute
Research suggests that building a strong sense of connectedness in an online course promotes
student success, engages students, and retains students. This requires that you establish a strong
teaching presence within the course, and that you create structures for students to form a community.
In this session, you will learn strategies to make your online course more personal and techniques to
build faculty and student presence in your online course.

Re-Thinking on Critical and Inventive Thinking_JohnYeo SingaporeJohn Yeo
Curriculum gap due to lost in translation highlights critical disjoint in assessment of creativity- 'where is the imagination'. Grounded on practical challenges of implementation coupled with the lack of press to support fostering of imagination, students are often crippled or even discouraged to break out of the box. Solutions proposed often lack the disruptive or thirst for greater novelty. An impt aspect of how we can re-think assessing creativity with helping students to better appreciate standards we expect and challenge them to push for new ideas or challenge status quo.
The author advocates the use of Lesson Study for Learning Communities to encourage teachers to dive deep into assessing students' authentic ideas as a key driver to enhance intellectual quality of learning.
Incorporating social media in the classroom to support self-determined (heuta...Lisa Marie Blaschke
Social media has become more ubiquitous within higher education and can play an important role in helping students become more self-determined in their learning and in building and sustaining a personal learning network (PLN) throughout their studies and beyond. This lecture will provide a framework for defining and choosing social media for use in the classroom, based on using a heutagogical (self-determined learning) approach to course design. The lecture will also demo a variety of ways for incorporating social media such as Twitter, e-portfolios, mind-mapping, GoogleDocs, and Diigo within the classroom.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

7. What do you think of when
we say Future Focused
Education?
- how is the learner viewed?
- how is knowledge viewed?
- where does compliance and
improvement fit?
17. “Wicked Problems”
Complex Challenges
● can’t be addressed using simple problem
solving
● can only be addressed with “clumsy”
solutions by bringing together disparate
perspectives on the problem in ways that all
voices are heard and responded to

Consultation versus Partnership
34. A shift from learner voice to learner agency
“Letting” versus Letting go
35. Go around looking for more questions - not answers:
1st horizon: Involving others in the long game
● Uncover the deep-rooted
contextualised/community-based problems.
● Drill into everything you do!
● have “ideas sessions” - like think tanks!

● prototyping,
● testing out your idea with as many different people
as possible to see how that idea fits with as many
people in the community as possible
● sharing, seeking feedback and input

● strategy
● solutions
● achieving the vision

45. Alright stop! Collaborate & listen...
Common signs that a network of schools is effectively
collaborating include:
• commitment to a common, needs-based goal/focus
• use of inquiry and knowledge-building cycles
• the presence of challenge and critique practices
• a focus on evidence-based needs, and
• the presence of role clarity and relational trust among
network members.
47. Common issues seen in
clusters or networks
- the ECE elephant in the room
- the secondary elephant in the room
- not knowing each other’s contexts at all
- resentment of or by informal network leaders
- lack of role clarity and/or trust between networks
leaders/members
- overwhelming plans full of unmanageable actions and
unachievable goals
- no space for innovation, vision work or creativity
48. How might your
Community of Learners
operate if you are to be
innovative,
transformative, future
focused?
49. Making room for new practices
Socially-engineered assembly lines:
- rigid
- highly controlled
- repetitive
- creativity-killing
- building-block thinking, tweaking
50. List all of the socially engineered, assembly line
behaviours and actions in your school/service:
➔ bells
➔ timetables
➔ age-separated classroom-type setups in ECE & schools
➔ auxiliary rooms instead of learning spaces
➔ traditional assemblies
➔ rewards for outcomes instead of the learning process
➔ WILTs & WALTs
➔ uniforms
➔ subjects & achievement are seen as the process for learning
51. Making room for new practices
Schools as evolving, natural ecosystems versus factories
- dynamism
- adaptability
- permeability
- creativity
- self-correction
(Thomas & Seeley Brown, 2011, Lichtman, 2014)
52. What do innovative school
structures look like?
senior management sits back and let innovation
teams work with real autonomy
“Sometimes the teams fail; they miss deadlines; their ideas are
unrealistic; their proposed innovations are flashes-in-the-pan...
Management does not step in and direct the team to reach a
different solution” (Lichtman, p. 79)
Set broad goals...get out of the way; help to repair
53. Conditions for innovation & change
“We have an incredible staff who want to be at
school and enjoy learning from each other”
- have a mindset that you will always grow and change
- refine teaching practices & programs all the time
- reduce teacher courses, increase time for collaboration in
teams
- reduce administrative drag, play down red tape
Melissa Kapeckas, Middle School Director (in Lichtman, 2014)
54. Characteristics of
a culture of innovation
“Act Small”
- promote a culture that can evolve without express permission from the
top at every step
- bottom-up or multilateral planning
- open access to planning and information
- collaboration across more permeable, flexible departmental boundaries
- allow natural leaders to emerge and claim a spot in the decision chain
- flatten the organisational chart
Lichtman, 2014
