Dr. Peter Bishop's Keynote to the 48th Annual Conference of the Association for the Advancement of International Education

Dr. Peter Bishop, futurist, recently spoke to a conference for the leaders of international schools around the world. "My vision is that we teach the future as we do the past," he told educators in his address to the 48th Annual Conference of Association for the Advancement of International Education(AAIE) in Boston on Feb. 8, 2014 (from Pamela Schied, Houston Futures Examiner). 
Dr. Bishop shared with the group the details of his organization called Teach the Future (www.TeachTheFuture.org) which he created as a vehicle to help educators actually teach the future.  He intends to enroll educational leaders, educators, and community partners in other organizations in the movement fostered by his organization; the primary purpose is to teach what he calls "futures thinking" in schools.

The presentation was well received by the educational leaders in attendance, and I suspect it did what Dr. Bishop hoped: it generated a good deal of conversation about what this means and how to do it. As content for instruction, this topic presents some new thoughts and opportunities for international educators, while at the same time raising questions about the precise meaning intended by Dr. Bishop's group.

What questions would you have asked Dr. Bishop if you had attended this session?
