Future Focused Learning (FFL) develops the skills and attributes that students need to connect, succeed and thrive in a rapidly changing and increasingly complex world.
FFL incorporates elements of the:
and research into gamified education into a dynamic and constantly evolving program that approaches ‘wicked problems’ with the ‘knowledge, skills, behaviours and dispositions that will assist students to actively shape their future.
If STEM is all the future why then are we not spending all of that time on STEM-based learning rather than Future Focused Learning? In fact much of FFL is STEM based but the reason it is FFL and not STEM is due to the ongoing research that has demonstrated that the citizen of the future needs more than the ability to code or develop algorithms – they also need the ‘soft’ skills that are easily transferred from one industry to another.
The 12 transferable skills underpin all teaching and learning within the lessons as students focus on collaboration, communication and creation, use critical and creative thinking to solve complex problems and engage in hands on, authentic learning activities to develop the skills they need to be responsible and active global citizens now and in the future.
