2. Imagine if...
… we could create an education system that truly
prepares young learners for their future – not our
past. How would it operate, and what would learning
look like?

3. Imagine if...
… we could design our schools and schooling system
that had the resilience to withstand constant change
and disruption.

4. Imagine if...
… we had the resources to achieve the change we
believe is necessary – how could we ensure that
what we design has the resilience to cope with
further disruption?

gender disparities, or overall system
dysfunction.

9. Our conundrum
“Future shock is the
shattering stress and
disorientation that we
induce in individuals by
subjecting them to too
much change in too short
a time.”
Alvin Toffler, 1970

How can we change faster
than the pace of change?

11. Education Exposed
“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.”

14. What do our students expect?
Washor, E and Mohkowski, C (2013) Leaving to learn
Do my teachers really know about
me and my interests and talents?
Do I find what the school is
teaching relevant to my interests?
Do I have opportunities to apply what I am
learning in real world settings and contexts?
Do I feel appropriately challenged
in my learning?
Can I pursue my learning out of
the standard sequence?
Do I have sufficient time to
learn at my own pace?
Do I have real choice about
what, where and how I learn?
Do I have opportunities to
explore and make mistakes?
Do I have opportunities to engage deeply in my
learning and to practice the skills I need to learn?

we design schools for the future?
Designing for the future...

39. How can we better cater for the
diverse needs of our learners and
community?
How do we address the issue of the
digital divide in our community?
Who has a voice in how decisions
are made?
Do we consider the principles of te
whare tapa whā in our school design
processes?
Inclusion is key

40. All learning is
culturally located
How can your school and
school settings better
acknowledge mana

Do you know who they are
and what their educational
priorities are?
(Questions to consider for reflection and planning:

41. What happens when attending
school isn’t an option?
How can we leverage the power of
the network?
How must we design schools as
hybrid learning institutions?
Do we design with an ‘end-to-end’,
whole of system view?
We must plan for resilience

the turbulence – it is to act with yesterday’s logic.”
