The New ABCs: Future Focused Teaching
By Paul Slowey
()
About this ebook
At its heart, this book is a call to action for schools and teachers to better prepare students for the modern world. The main focus is how and why we should change the paradigm of the entire education system to allow students to develop the skills, attitudes, and aptitude they need to be successful in what ever future they choose. While the scope of this book is wide ranging and world changing, the power to make the change real is in the hands of the teacher in the classroom.
Paul Slowey
I have been a consultant, facilitator, campus manager, director, and governor to educational institutions in Australia and the UK over the last 20 years. Like most of us I have also spent many years learning from academic institutions and waxing philosophical about education, society, and life in general with people from all stations of life. Much of my time on this planet has been spent in various business endeavours including contracting to central government, being the CEO of a not-for-profit regional development organisation, running my own entrepreneurial endeavours, and generally stepping up for every opportunity that life presents for me to do some good.
