Teaching For Tomorrow
Shifting instruction for success in the modern worldAbstract:
It used to be that the rest of the world was happy with what schools did to prepare students for the rest of their lives. Now it seems like all we get is abuse! What's going on? Simply put technology has changed life. This has left education trying to catch up with the rest of the world.
This provocative presentation explores the magnitude of the astounding change that has taken place in the world over the last 30 years, discusses the enormous gap between what kids leave school with and what is needed in the world of work, and outlines a problem-solving instructional approach to engage students and teach them the higher level thinking skills they need for success in the world of the 21st century. Ted will end the presentation by discussing his award winning 4 D problem-solving process.
