Thriving on complexity: Cognitive imperatives for the future workforce
In his presentation, Professor Larry Smith will outline the cognitive capacities that teachers and trainers will need to develop individually, and in their learners, if they are to survive and thrive in an increasingly complex, rapidly changing global society.
Professor Smith will also discuss his Campus Review article, which added a sixth dimension to Howard Gardner’s Five Minds for the Future, designed to inspire lifelong learning among teachers and trainers, managers and leaders.
This will be a live keynote presentation streaming from the AUSTAFE conference.
