Looking ahead: a case for Futures Education in Australian schools looks at a variety of rationales for the implementation of skills, knowledge and values developed through the introduction of Futures Education in schools. With greater exposure to the Futures field, students have the opportunity to come to a greater understandings of powerful concepts such as hope, sustainability and resilience, in relation to their own lives, and the world around them. Looking ahead: a case for Futures Education in Australian schools considers the development of curriculum over the last fifteen years in Australia. There is a review of a number of published curriculum frameworks and models, both seeking and demanding the need for, explicit inclusion of futures perspectives within leading frameworks for educators. This book addresses issues related to the role of the educator in the Futures environment, and considers ways that Futures Education may be used to build on traditional areas of learning in order to raise the quality and capacity of life for the learners and futures generation
