A community of practise for Futures-Oriented learning
Who are we?
In a field that is constantly evolving and complex, the need for innovative and adaptable education systems has never been more critical. The Education Futures Academy initiative embraces this challenge head-on, offering a dynamic and inclusive community where the learning sciences flourish, boundaries are pushed, and new educational paradigms are born.
Comprised of teachers, school leaders, educators and researchers, this community shares scalable and sustainable pedagogies.
Our vision is to co-create the future of learning and develop sustainable pedagogies that work for your context. At the heart of our academy lies a foundational belief: Education is a collaborative journey, woven together by the collective efforts of educators and researchers.
As a community of educators and researchers working together to apply the learning sciences, we foster a culture of lifelong learning that is in accessible, engaging, and tailored to the needs of the 21st century.
Let’s grow together.
Research-based Design Principles
The Education Futures Academy is guided by four principles:
1. Futures-oriented: We prioritise forward-thinking approaches that anticipate and shape education futures, so our students can thrive in the world of tomorrow.
2. Learning Sciences: Grounded in on-going research from the learning sciences, we are researchers, teachers and educational leaders working together to understand how to implement better learning in everyday learning environments.
3. Navigate complexity: Students are evolving learners in evolving contexts, and we want to understand and navigate this system together.
4. Two-way process: We are all necessary for change. Practice informs research, and research translates to educational design.
