To provoke thought leaders to think about the future of education in new ways, KnowledgeWorks Foundation has launched a fully interactive version of its 2006-2016 Map of Future Forces Affecting Education.
Developed in partnership with the Institute for the Future, the Education Map of the Decade identifies external future forces that are likely to shape the primary and secondary education system over the next 10 years. It identifies six key global and American trends and considers how those trends may affect five “impact zones”: family and community, markets, institutions, educators and learning, and tools and practices.
It also identifies five “hot spots” – trends that will profoundly affect educators and students over the next decade and deserve particular attention. Trends range from dark – such as bio-distress and increasing chronic illness – to hopeful – such as the potential for new technology and media to stimulate entirely new kinds of teaching methods.
