This monograph presents the current views, challenges and future
needs of educators from a global online exchange where educators
and researchers discuss the 21st
st century skills needed
by students and teachers. The three editors, who participated in
the global online research discussion group, also assumed the role
of authors to summarise, analyse and celebrate the myriad of ideas
generated in a topic thread that had well over a thousand responses
from 26 countries. Through Comparative Analysis they then compared
the posters’ ideas to some current big thinkers in education. This
text promotes teachers’ voices from diverse disciplines and sectors
who are united in their desire for purposeful and radical change in
how teaching is carried out and what is taught. The text advocates
shifting power away from government control and standardisation
towards empowering teachers to guide and further develop the unique
talents of diverse individuals.
