Professional Development - Leadership Day Exploring the Edges with Cheryl Doig



Here so we can make a difference

Are you ready for exponential change? - Futurist Gerd Leonhard,
  • Are you driving change or are you being driven by it?
  • What can not be automated?  That will be important in the future.
  • Humanity is what is important - this will be important in the future.  What is the teachers role in this?

  • Communication and interaction skills will be important to teach in the future and less influence on pen and paper and writing etc.
  • What are we unleashing on the world?
  • The saying that if we always do what we've always done then we will always get what we've always got - not true anymore.  If we always do what we've always done - then we will end of going backwards as the world is moving so rapidly. 
Technology as a driver of educational change

  • Cyberthon - Physical Education
  • 3D printed medicine - Science
  • The Levian Project - Literacy - World building
  • What are the implications for learning and teaching?
School as a learning ecosystem - 
  • fit for purpose
  • adaptive
  • agile
  • complex
  • contextual
The minute you stick your toe in the water the system has changed - unintended consequences.
