Author: Derek Wenmoth

Derek Wenmoth from FutureMakers shares his whakaaro on Thinking Long – learning for the future.

  1. What are some of the things you believe are important to be focusing on in order to develop young people who can thrive in an uncertain future?
  2. What is getting in the way of you being able to do this? What are the challenges/barriers you face?
  3. What are some specific things you could do to address this – Curriculum? Structures? Role of teacher? Learning spaces? Etc
  4. List the 3-4 key actions you think you could work on in your context over the next 2-3 months to begin making the difference you feel is required in order to address the ‘signals’ discussed at the beginning – to prepare our young people to be able to thrive in the future.
