Individual Paper abstract titled Co-constructing preferred scenarios for the future of teaching: What if… we used the future to change the present in education?, for the 2025 Australian Association for Research in Education Conference - New Connections and Directions for Educational Research - has been accepted without revision. 

Check out the podcast I recorded with Drew Janetzki for the NSW Primary Principal’s Association Building Schools for Tomorrow: Future-Focused Leadership with Dr Jason McGrath .

In this post:

• Why is creating space to collaboratively think about the longer term future valuable?

• How can a focus on the future impact on decision making in the present?

• How can we find the future in the present to exemplify transformations that are possible?

• What if we moved away from a traditional linear model of policy making?
