ASCD Annual ContentActivity Roadmap
Through Teach the Future's innovative methods and resources, educators can lead the transformation, creating classrooms where Futures Thinking becomes an integral part of learning. The result will be a generation of students who are not only ready for the future but are actively engaged in shaping a better world for everyone. Here’s the activity roadmap:
First, participants will discover their personal Futures Thinking archetype.
Second, participants will work in groups to understand how these archetypes work independently and together to navigate the future.
Third, participants will play a game that helps them think about and imagine the future through scenario and story creation.
