Long-Term Orientation and Visioning
Imagining long-term goals and staying committed to them in ways that support broader societal and ecological well-being.
Dimension Thinking — Understanding Our Complex World
For me
- What should my students still carry from my teaching in twenty years?
- Where am I optimising for the next test instead of for lasting understanding?
For my class
- What should your neighbourhood look like in 30 years?
- What would you like people to say later about your generation?
In the classroom
- Start the lesson with “why are we learning this?” and let the class answer it at the end – what of it lasts beyond the school year?
- A futures workshop: critique – vision – implementation, on a topic that concerns the class.
