Secondary cross curricular. Tomorrow's teacher
Description
A holographic teacher and a homework-doing machine - just two ideas of what the future might hold from a group of Year 8 pupils. With experts predicting that education is facing the biggest transformation since the 19th century, the pupils are asked to come up with their own predictions in a cross-curricular lesson on the future of education. The pupils, from Ashton Park School in Bristol, are introduced to the pace of change in new technologies with help from Dan Sutch from Futurelab. But they are also asked to think about their priorities for education: should it be about preparing them for employment or helping them discover their talents?The lesson, which brings together Carolyn Twist, head of media, and Graham Kay from the D&T department, explores the future shape of schools - and whether teachers are needed at all. Education consultant and former science teacher Matthew Tosh is on hand to offer advice and comments on the lesson.
