Dear
friends,
Our new
GTI Forum, The
Pedagogy of Transition,
explores how to align
education with emerging
social and ecological
imperatives. The times
call for approaches that
cultivate integrated
knowledge and global
citizenship, while
preparing students for
curious, well-informed,
big-hearted lives.
Instead, we continue to
educate for a world we
don’t want.
Forward-looking
educators confront the
challenge at two levels:
long-term efforts to adapt
educational systems for a
changing world and the
near-term work creating
alternative curricula and
pedagogies within existing
systems. The Forum is thus
divided into two panels, Frameworks
and Practices.
The first appraises the
state of education today,
the factors maintaining
its deficiencies, and
strategies for its
reformation. The second
reports on the kinds of
innovations already in the
classroom (and beyond)
that point the way
forward.
Carry it
on,
Paul
Raskin
GTI Director
