DVD/Presentation

In a world where change is the constant you can't trust your eyes because what you see will be replaced tomorrow. You think your eyes are showing you reality; in fact, they are showing you history. The only way to see the reality of a world on the move is to look for global trends. By carefully examining the significance of several global exponential trends, this presentation profoundly challenges your fundamental assumptions about the world we live and the future that awaits us all.

How can schools prepare students for this ever-changing world? Perhaps by developing an instructional and learning strategy that simultaneously focuses on content and 21st century skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, information and technological fluency, useful failure, project-based learning and metacognitive skills needed to survive in the culture of the 21st Century.

Participants will come away from the presentation with a clear understanding of how to meet both their curricular goals, as well as prepare students to meet the new realities of the 21st Century. Included is an overview of the 7-layered curriculum model (content, process, tools, school to career, school to community, school to home, and contiguous assessment) as well as a variety of resources to support the transition to this new model. Participants should come prepared to have many of their present assumptions about education challenged.

This popular keynote has been presented in over 40 countries world-wide, and is now available for purchase as a DVD. Below is a video preview of the presentation as seen on the DVD.
