Tomorrow's Teacher, Tomorrow's School

Part of the series School Matters

Explore the innovations and trends that could bring about the biggest transformation in teaching since the beginning of mass education.

New technologies could soon make virtual classrooms and artificial intelligence a reality with huge implications for how children are taught, with children deciding not only what they learn but where they learn.

An experiment involving 120 learners at Biddenham Upper School, Beford, shows education can be delivered at a variety of centres within the community rather than a single school.

Sudbury Valley School, in Massachusetts, USA, uses personalised learning and technology to allow its 200 pupils to educate themselves, meaning so long as they stay within the rules, they can do whatever they please.

  Having played a part in the making of this video I am pleased to see the positive feedback. We certainly enjoyed taking part in the making of it, and I speak for Mike Berrill too. Just last week an audience of parents in India enjoyed it as I was fortunate enough to be able to use it in a presentation about what parents should be asking their schools for, and it helped too in explaining what exactly personalisation is all about.

  A wonderful teaching method and I hope it will be available in every part of the world.
  
  It really can inspire the students' creativities and passion so that they can learn in playing.
