4. End the all-at-once assessment cycle – introduce a system of continuous and flexible assessment that allows work to be assessed as it is completed. Encourage self, peer-topeer evaluation and portfolio based assessment.
5. Embrace Diversity – We live in a diverse and multicultural society; our schools should reflect this in a curriculum that recognises diverse backgrounds, opinions and skills.
6. Foster Mutual Respect - Develop a culture of mutual respect and learning between teacher and student – It’s not a one against thirty situation any more
7. Invest and build on physical learning spaces - Embrace the full potential of social media, gaming technologies, virtual learning environments and other alternative platforms for learning
8. Rethink the role of teachers - Let teachers act as guides rather than judges of outcomes by making it easier for teachers to vary their approach according to the circumstances, the subject and the preferences of the learners.
9. Future Proof – Technology and culture are changing at a rapid pace. We need to develop a responsive curriculum that allow teachers and schools to rapidly respond to new knowledge, living culture and emerging technologies.
10. Global Classroom – We live in a globalised society. Our learning environment should reflect this. To navigate in a 21st Century world we need to be literate in a multicultural, media saturated, high tech society. We can do this through meaningful collaborative projects with students across the world.
