Abstract
This chapter explores some of the implications of change; some of the tensions present in teaching for an unknown future. While recognising that their current teaching is losing its effectiveness, the posters yearn for the means to actuate change. There are tensions around their teacher identity, mandated systems and fixed environments, the division of learning into disciplines that do not allow for the inclusion of these skills to be implemented in authentic ways. The chapter concludes with the realisation that education is at a crossroads and there are new questions that are important to address as a global educational community.
