  1. GETTING IT RIGHT 21st Century Fluency Project

  2. FACING THE GREAT CHALLENGE • As educators we are facing, in this new digital age, perhaps the greatest challenge of our careers, both now and as the future approaches—the challenge of change. • Currency of the Future

  3. TTWWADI • Why is it that while the world has changed, and continues to change so dramatically, education continues to struggle with many of those same issues of change? • Resistance to change: TTWWADI • That’s The Way We’ve Always Done It

  4. WHERE’S IT ALL LEADING? • There’s an important matter we need to stop and consider here, which is whether or not our schools are preparing our students for this world. Maybe we’re just doing a terrific job of preparing kids for the world and the economies of bygone eras.

  5. FUTURISTS • Educators are also paid to look to the future. We’re paid to use our intuition to make some reasonable estimation of what students will need to operate in the world of tomorrow, based on current trends.

  6. SURVIVAL SKILLS • . . . we need to have one eye focused on the here and now, and the other one has to be focused on what these students will need to survive • . . .

  7. LIVE FOR THE FUTURE • If we live life like a quarterback and start with the end in mind, the fundamental question shifts from “what technology, platform, or software we should install” to”whatskills, knowledge, and habits of mind • our students will need to function and succeed in the 21st century.” We need to use this as the basis of reconsidering education and ask, “What will learning look like one generation of students from now?”

  8. PREPARING LESSONS • As you prepare lessons both for this class and for your classes in the future, always look down field like a quarterback and • “have one eye focused on the here and now, and the other one focused on what these students will need to survive in the future. . .”
