In a report recently issued by the World Economic Forum, sixty-five percent of children now entering primary school will hold jobs that currently don’t exist. Our young people are experiencing a landscape dramatically dif- ferent from that of previous generations. It is estimated that we have 50 to 100 times more experiences than our 19th and early 20th century ancestors, and success- ful youth need to generate new understand- ings and new meanings to make sense of it and navigate their way through it wisely. While the world is changing, schools aren’t keeping up. So, how do students prepare?
