Future-Proofing Students
Borba, Michele
Educational Leadership, v79 n8 p18-23 May 2022
To prepare students for a tech-intensive future, educators cannot hold on to 20th-century learning practices. They must reimagine education and cultivate an updated skill set. Lessons led by caring educators will continue to help students be strong learners and critical thinkers; but "human" skills will equip them to handle an uncertain world. Which competencies and practices will "future-proof" students--or at least prepare them to the best extent possible? This article discusses 7 strengths and 21 abilities for future readiness.
