Future Forwards

36 Future Forwards: Exploring Frontiers in Education our models and constructs are built to meet real needs and to promote the highest quality learning possible. They are also built with the expectation that they will continue to be developed. This work is not perfect in the sense that it is still going to require ongoing development, rather is designed to help us meet the needs of educators for the future. That was and is our goal. In the end, it is our hope that we have been able to lay a foundation upon which any organization can build, test, and mold its own future as well.
