Summary
The prototypical design of learning experiences is based on a logic that requires us to work backward from what we can confidently forecast students will likely need to be able to know and do in the foreseeable future. This approach has its benefits, but it also has serious limitations with respect to what educational experiences can and should offer young people in preparation for navigating uncertain futures.
