Teach the Future
PREPARE STUDENTS FOR TOMORROW > TEACH THE FUTURE TODAY We believe that young people of any age can learn to think critically and creatively about the future and develop the agency to influence it. Do you feel the same? Join us in our worldwide mission to bring foresight and futures thinking to schools and students around the world. Teach the Future (TTF) is a non-profit collaboration among educators and community partners to encourage and support teachers and administrators to include the future in their classes and curriculum. We design and facilitate professional development for educators and workshops for students that introduce them to the concepts and tools of foresight. We also provide access to free teaching materials and support for educators who use the material or schools ready to incorporate foresight into their curriculum. TTF was established by Dr. Peter Bishop following his retirement from the Foresight program at the University of Houston after he directed that program for 30 years. Currently it is global collaborative with a team of leading educators and thought leaders in the futures community. Want to join? Please leave a message!
