Designing the 21st Century Secondary Schools
Building Schools for the Future (BSF) will evolve in stages over 10-15 years - from early consultation and planning to completion of new buildings at hundreds of school sites across England.

‘Fulfilling the Potential – Transforming Teaching and Learning through ICT in Schools’
The aims for the next stage of development will be to ensure that for all schools:•ICT makes a significant contribution to teaching and learning across all subjects and ages, inside and outside the curriculum; •ICT is used to improve access to learning for pupils with a diverse range of individual needs, including those with SEN and disabilities; •ICT is used as a tool for whole-school improvement; •ICT is used as a means of enabling learning to take place more easily beyond the bounds of the formal school organisation and outside the school day; and •ICT capabilities are developed as key skills essential for participation in today’s society and economy.

Eight key reforms:
1. Guaranteed three-year budgets for every school from 2006, geared to pupil numbers, with every school also guaranteed a minimum per pupil increase each year.
2. Universal specialist schools – and better specialist schools.
3. Freedom for all secondary schools to own their land and buildings, manage their assets, employ their staff, improve their governing bodies, and forge partnerships with outside sponsors and educational foundations.
4. More places in popular schools.
5. A ‘new relationship with schools’ to cut the red tape involved in accountability, without cutting schools adrift.
6. 200 academies by 2010 – and more new schools.
7. Every secondary school to be refurbished or rebuilt to a modern standard over the next 10 to 15 years ( ‘Building Schools for the Future’ programme).
8. ‘Foundation partnerships’

Why is reform needed?
1. This report sets out our proposals and recommendations for reforming 14-19 curriculum and qualifications, building on strengths within the current system while addressing its weaknesses, to:
• Raise participation and achievement – by tackling the educational causes of disengagement and underachievement and low post-16 participation.
• Get the basics right – ensuring that young people achieve specified levels in functional mathematics, literacy and communication and ICT, and are equipped with the knowledge,skills and attributes needed to succeed in adult life, further learning and employment.
• Strengthen vocational routes – improving the quality and status of vocational programmes delivered by schools, colleges and training providers, setting out the features of high quality provision and identifying a clear role for employers.
• Provide greater stretch and challenge – ensuring opportunities for greater breadth and depth of learning. This will help employers and universities to differentiate more effectively between top performers. Stretch and challenge at all levels will encourage young people to think for themselves and be innovative and creative about their learning.
• Reduce the assessment burden for learners, teachers, institutions and the system as a whole by reducing the number of times learners are examined; extending the role of teacher assessment; and changing assessment in A levels in order to improve the quality of teaching and learning.
• Make the system more transparent and easier to understand by rationalising 14-19 curriculum and qualifications within a diploma framework, where progression routes and the value of qualifications are clear.

Well-Identified Problem Set•Poor school buildings
•Need to now integrate ICT into the subject classrooms and across the schools
•50% loss of young people who do not pursue post-secondary education
•Coasting and cruising schools
But what is being missed?
What dangers are there in this agenda?

Designing the 21st Century Secondary Schools
Excerpt from DRAFT New Basics Technical Paper, Version: 3 April 2000, Education Queensland http://education.qld.gov.au/corporate/newbasics/html/library.html#techpaper
Bigum et al.’s (1997) findings indicate that the use and adaptation of IT by schools has reached a conceptual and practical impasse.
It would appear that much of the IT use … is for extremely inauthentic and uncritical pedagogy (e.g. word processing, replication by rote, lower-order thinking, and other largely irrelevant activities in IT-based instruction). In more recent studies …, Bigum and colleagues indicate that too many students engage in simple information reproduction activities and too few students use IT to produce new and locally relevant knowledge.
The consensus from these recent studies corroborates the constructivist philosophy taken by Apple Classrooms of Tomorrow (ACOT) in Springfield (Dwyer, 1994): That technology in and of itself will not solve the problem, but that its use must be accompanied by a pedagogical revolution. Until IT is more commonly used for educational practices that are constructivist and problem-based, locally relevant and critical, it has little hope of fundamentally changing patterns of student outcomes and achievement.
IT is neither the problem nor the solution. It can, however, play a key role in a futures-oriented reform of pedagogy. It can do so both as an instructional mode and as a medium for building and sustaining professional development learning communities.

Small and Smaller: The third era of globalization is shrinking the world from size small to a size tiny.
By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN, March 4, 2004
Globalization 1.0
From the late 1800's to World War I, was driven by falling transportation costs, thanks to the steamship and the railroad. shrank the world from a size large to a size medium.
Globalization 2.0
From the 1980's to 2000, was based on falling telecom costs and the PC, and shrank the world from a size medium to a size small.

Small and Smaller: The third era of globalization is shrinking the world from size small to a size tiny.
By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN, March 4, 2004
Globalization 3.0
Produced by three forces:
•Massive installation of undersea fiber-optic cable and bandwidth (thanks to the dot-com bubble) that have made it possible to globally transmit and store huge amounts of data for almost nothing.
•Second, the diffusion of PC's around the world.
•Third, the convergence of a variety of software applications — from e-mail, to Google, to Microsoft Office, to specially designed outsourcing programs — that, when combined with all those PC's and bandwidth, made it possible to
create global "work-flow platforms."
