Inhaltsangabe

The world is changing at dizzying speed. To adapt and thrive in our ever-evolving social and economic landscapes, education leavers need skills such as working with others, problem-solving, digital literacy and emotional intelligence.

These skills unlock their academic and technical knowledge and skill, allowing them to perform across contexts while also managing their wellbeing. Employers, too, are seeking people with enterprising and entrepreneurial mindsets—those who can adapt to change and innovate products and processes; while these abilities also support individuals to find and create their own employment.

Is education keeping pace with these demands?

Building Better Learning examines how such skills can be embedded in the curriculum, providing case studies of how they are being delivered and assessed in current educational settings. The book contends that, although they may be different outcomes, the foundation for employability, enterprise and even business start-up is a common set of transversal (T) skills or higher-level uber (U) skills. These skills are crucial to success in many areas of life and work, and to support their wider adoption in education, this book offers:

• A summary of the importance of T and U skills, a vocabulary for discussing them, and an indication of how they fit with the more traditional components of education.
• Examples of how they are being both delivered and assessed in educational settings.
• Reflections and suggestions for further exploration.

"As we collectively reimagine what's possible - not just in our schools and classrooms but across society - I know this book will make a valuable addition to any educator's arsenal. Its practical approach and focus on the learner will help many to create deeper and more meaningful experiences. The future depends on it." (Olly Newton, Executive Director of The Edge Foundation.)
