According to our podcast guest, the future will belong to students who can learn, unlearn, and relearn, …and adapt quickly.  Ryan Schaaf is the co-author of the new book, A Brief History of the Future of Education: Learning in the Age of Disruption.  Jobs that were formerly mainstays of the economy, such as bookkeeping, customer service, and even law, are now largely digital. A new expectation for the future: frequent career changes for workers to move with the times. Some of the insights Ryan gained researching the book: balancing short-term and long-term skills, survival skills for students, and what teaching will look like in the future.

Developing problem-solvers, creators, collaborators, and innovators is one of keys to our students being prepared for their economically disruptive futures.  Ann Kaiser‘s STEM work certainly supports those challenges… Of particular interest: her Engineering Design Process for Your Classroom and Next Generation Science Projects.  https://myedexpert.com/vendor/akaiser/

For upper elementary students, Carolyn DeCristofano‘s contributions are simply stellar.  From her engineering kit for Rosie Revere to The Sun & The Moon. So appreciative that she has shared these! https://myedexpert.com/vendor/bhstemed/

Social studies teachers! You’ll want to grab Sheila White‘s Historiographies – all Four of Them. These are for around 6-9th grades & free!   https://myedexpert.com/vendor/SheilaWhite/

Off-mentioned author/contributor Todd Stanley‘s works fit the bill for developing long-term thinking skills.  From “Socrates on Trial” to his “39 Clues” to “The Trial of the Big Bad Wolf,” students will think, create, and collaborate.
