  • Summary

    The prototypical design of learning experiences is based on a logic that requires us to work backward from what we can confidently forecast students will likely need to be able to know and do in the foreseeable future. This approach has its benefits, but it also has serious limitations with respect to what educational experiences can and should offer young people in preparation for navigating uncertain futures.

  • Summary

    What do we owe current and future generations of young people? Although there are many ways to respond to this question, most agree that we owe them an education that prepares them for the future. This chapter describes how approach this goal requires us to think differently about the future. Specifically, recognizing that there is not one future but multiple futures. Moreover, it highlights how we need new scenarios for possible futures which go beyond focusing on likely futures and toward preparing young people to navigate unkown futures.
