"It is possible to believe that all the past is but the beginning of a beginning, and that all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn.It is possible to believe that all that the human mind has ever accomplished is but the dream before the awakening.”
~ H.G. Wells
Just as all education springs from some vision of
the future…
all education produces some image of the future
~ Alvin Toffler
Culture adoption lags behind technological innovation
Ogburn’s Theory of Cultural Lag
“All education springs from some image of the future. If the image of the future held by society is grossly inaccurate, its education system will betray its youth.”
Alvin Toffler

Future Time Perspective
(Seijts, 1998)
Extension: how far into the future does your active work extend?
Coherence: how organized is your future-focused thinking?
Density: how many thoughts about the future are active?
Directionality: how well are you moving along from present to future?
Affectivity: are you gratified about your progress toward the future?
Future-focused learning• Extend students time horizons (length)
• Develop cohesive goals, anchored to action (cohesiveness)
• Populate individual goal horizons (density)
• Give students agency (directionality)
• Give them real reasons to feel good about their own futures (affective)
= “high achievement orientation” (Seijts)
The future belongs to those who givethe next generation reason to hope
~ Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
