http://foresighteducation.wetpaint.com/ - Modern society is awash in a sea of change; therefore, anticipate a future starkly different from the past and unlike the present.
- People really DO try to influence the future, particularly, that of families, work spaces, and community with good intentions in mind.
- Unfortuately, most are novices at best since formal education offers little preparation for "divining" the future.
- As such, each new graduating class is set adrift on this sea of change called the future with little more than "a wish on a wing!"
The partial truth only! - The future hasn’t happened yet, how can one teach it?
- The future is too complicated, how can anyone know it?
- I myself have no formal training about the future.
- My state’s curriculum standards don't include "futures-related" content.
Teaching more about the future in all of education is the
mission of the
Foresight Education Project!
Strengthen our collective FUTURE by partnering with teachers in secondary, college and graduate programs around the world --to facilitate access to Ready-to-GO! instructional materials
augmenting regular lessons with a tip, tool or strategy involving foresight education.

promoting "foresight" enhancing programs.
--to facilitate access to Foresight Experts (both educators and others).
