Teaching Tomorrow

According to Richard Elmore, there are only three ways to improve student learning at scale: You can raise the level of the content that students are taught. You can increase the skill and knowledge that teachers bring to the teaching of that content. And you can increase the level of students' active learning of the content. What this means is that schools don't improve through political and managerial incantation; they improve through the complex and demanding work of teaching and learning. This book is about increasing students learning of content and future-readiness by increasing the level of skills and knowledge teachers bring to the teaching of the content. The teacher is the pivot of education. The fulcrum on which the whole processes revolve. Whatever change, improvement, innovation, etc., that we want to achieve in education must have the teacher at the centre of it. This book is designed to help teachers position themselves properly in this age of creativity and innovation, driven primarily by technology, to be drivers of innovation and development through appropriate practices in pedagogy.
