Harvard Graduate School of Education’s Futures of Education Organization aims to authentically engage the spectrum of stakeholders in interdisciplinary conversations pertaining to topics discussed in UNESCO’s Reimagining the Future of Education report with the hope of creating a collective reimagining of the future of education. The five founding members come from 4 different continents and a wide range of professions themselves; authors, teachers, speech and language pathologists, engineers, founders of nonprofits, climate change curriculum writers and more.
The Future of Education Organization believes that interdisciplinary communication across stakeholders and organizational/ institutional partnerships is crucial if we want to make real progress in education, as the complex nature and demands of the education environment require the expertise and knowledge of different disciplines who can work together to solve multifaceted and complex problems. Interdisciplinary teamwork can improve and amplify education professionals’ and institutions’ abilities to support learning outcomes more than individuals or institutions working alone.
