Education Futures for School Leadership is a comprehensive resource to support school leaders as they encounter the growing complexity and uncertainties that characterize life in schools today. Moving beyond conventional change management literature, this book invites current and aspiring school leaders to apply the interdisciplinary tools of futures studies and strategic foresight to their work.Given our shared global challenges, young people deserve schools that are agile, adaptive, and responsive to many possible futures. Driven by the imperatives of equity and inclusion, the authors provide practical, evidence-informed strategies, real-world examples, and use cases of futures thinking applied to school staff development and change strategies. Each chapter engages with key educational realities: differentiating instructional planning and assessment, the impacts of artificial intelligence and other technologies, the growing psycho-social issues young people are facing, and more.Informed by years of international collaboration with forward-thinking school leaders and scholars, this book is both a field guide and a call to action for navigating the influence of the future on our present moment and the challenges and promises shaping school life today.

AI Unplugged: The Hype and Hope in Education Futures addresses a comprehensive range of challenging and potential-rich scenarios for the integration of generative artificial intelligence into curriculum, instruction and assessment in schools. It does so from a critical perspective, seeing teaching and learning as an intensely human activity. AI can help but not replace the work that skilled, professional teachers do.Many school professionals are concerned about the impact that AI tools will have on academic integrity, job security, teacher-student relationships, algorithmic bias, digital privacy and beyond, particularly as young learners become proficient in free-to-use tools and other AI resources. This book provides graduate students, teaching faculty and scholars of teacher education, as well as school and district leadership, with accessible background information, practical use cases and change management approaches pertaining to generative AI. Teacher unions will also gain insight into what their peers are doing regarding AI and the profession.School professionals in training will come away with a substantive, evidence-based means of discovering and integrating AI in ways that accommodate common uncertainties and greater preparation to manage risks and lead change.
