Summary or Introduction

Body or Additional Details
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 15pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #313133">We need to think about providing continuous learning frameworks for our educators. While curricula may remain unchanged for periods of time, there is learning beyond the curriculum. Our research at A Better Africa, which is at times anecdotal, indicates burning educator challenges such conduct in the classroom. Added to this is the introduction of future fit skills that will support areas like critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving, among others.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 15pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #313133">We think of learning ecosystems as symbiotic environments where people interact with content, technology, and of course each other.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 15pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #313133">The traditional learning ecosystem focuses on five building blocks: people, content, technology, data, and governance, but we believe that it’s more than people but about the community. Learning ecosystems should be a place where ideas and knowledge can be shared.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 15pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #000000"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #313133">Learning for educators cannot only be about professional development and updates on the curriculum. Research shows that teachers are feeling poorly resourced and learning ecosystems, curated to include content that covers many of the current learning gaps for teachers, can address some immediate needs. </span></p>
