Synopsis

The 21st century will be very different from today - yet study of the future is a neglected issue in education. Young people in particular, while concerned about a range of current global issues, often feel unprepared for what the future may bring. "Preparing for the Future" takes as its premiss that if all education is for the future, then the future needs to be a more explicit concern at all levels of education. That adult life for which pupils and students need to be prepared will stretch well into the latter half of the 21st century: only an explicit and critical education for the future can suffice to prepare them adequately for the opportunities, responsibilities and experience of adult life. This book is intended for all those working in teacher education and brings together a selection of key writings on the future and on education for the future. It ends with exemplar teaching/learning activities for teacher educators.
