The economic crisis caused by Covid-19 has hit young people leaving education hard. The challenge of getting a job has become even more difficult, and the risk of them falling into the vicious circle where no experience=no job looms gloomily ahead.
An online space that brings together students and teachers of various disciplines to collaborate and negotiate how learners want to spend their passion project time. The result is co-created learning objectives around something both teachers and learners feel truly engaged in.
One of the biggest impacts of COVID-19 has been the overnight transformation of homes into classrooms across the world, leaving extended families to suddenly become multi-disciplinary at home teachers. They need jargon busting teacher training.
Our current model of school curriculum design is to outsource to educational professionals. However, this approach can fail to engage the learners and teachers for whom the curriculum is designed, and can even widen the socio-economic achievement gap.
We never expected to have our childrens’ teachers beamed into our living rooms on a weekly basis. They’ve probably learned more about our children from background sibling squabbles and holiday fridge magnets than we will ever know. Yet, online learning has resulted in some learners and teachers feeling less connected.
The online environment offers exciting opportunities for next generation teacher development, through teacher observation, feedback and on-demand training.
Is the world we’re passing to our children one we can be proud of? Possibly not. That’s why we’re proposing a new model for delivering lifelong learning to non-traditional, adult learners to provide them with the skills, knowledge and mindsets needed to thrive in tomorrow's society.
