The classroom as a place of exploration, not of five learning outcomes
The question
What should a typical day in the classroom look like in 20 years?

Summary
Classes should be places of exploration, exchange and discovery — and in 20 years even more so: more flexible, more agile and less burdened by paperwork such as prescribed lists of learning outcomes that every student must achieve by the end of a course. Teaching has to become far more creative, attractive and engaging than it is today. The classroom is the teacher’s own environment, a space where one can step beyond the expected, and the hope is that future teachers will keep doing so, and do even more.
We’ve got to be much more creative and much more attractive and much more engaging.
