EDP-6290: Critical Skills for Critical Times

This course operates under the premise that the purpose of school is to prepare people for life after school. Toward that end, we need to build a sophisticated understanding of the complexities and demands of the world in which we live, and what the world might be like five, ten or fifteen years into the future. Essential questions that frame this work and the course objectives will be: Why should we do problem-based learning? What current and perhaps future realities of the world are we preparing our young people to be able to thrive and be successful in? Given those realities, what capacities (knowledge, skill and dispositions) are of fundamental importance for our students to attain in order for these young people to be successful, but to change the world for better? What are the qualities of a classroom that best mimic and prepare students for that world?
