How to teach big understandings and the ideas that matter most
Everyone has an opinion about education, and teachers face
pressures from Common Core content standards, high-stakes testing,
and countless other directions. But how do we know what today's
learners will "really" need to know in the future? "Future Wise:
Educating Our Children for a Changing World" is a toolkit for
approaching that question with new insight. There is no one answer
to the question of what's worth teaching, but with the tools in
this book, you'll be one step closer to constructing a curriculum
that prepares students for whatever situations they might face in
the future.
K-12 teachers and administrators play a crucial role in building
a thriving society. David Perkins, founding member and co-director
of Project Zero at Harvard's Graduate School of Education, argues
that curriculum is one of the most important elements of making
students ready for the world of tomorrow. In "Future Wise," you'll
learn concepts, curriculum criteria, and techniques for
prioritizing content so you can guide students toward the big
understandings that matter.Understand how learners use knowledge in
life after graduationLearn strategies for teaching critical

"Future Wise" presents a brand new framework for thinking about
education. Curriculum can be one of the hardest things for teachers
and administrators to change, but David Perkins shows that only by
reimagining what we teach can we lead students down the road to
functional knowledge." Future Wise" is the practical guidebook you
need to embark on this important quest.
