Co-creating Future Foresight Skills Through Story and Community: an AAIE Grove


Join us for Scenario Sharing on Monday, December 2, 2024, at 8:30 AM EST. Digging into the scenarios and exploring ways to make a reading of them participatory. This session will explore ways to leverage the scenarios as tools with various 'readers.'


This virtual community is designed for school leaders eager to cultivate future foresight skills that will help us navigate this new era of AI in education as a collective.


Discover how futurists think and collaborate and bring those activities back to your leadership team. You will engage with science fiction, cutting-edge research, and practical foresight strategies to prepare your school for the challenges of tomorrow, today.


The experience:

  • Our menu of learning options also includes different ways to access the content and activities. You might try some things on your own, apply a strategy with a friend or colleague at school, or think of scenarios with a family member during a meal or while going for a walk.
  • There are different access points to explore and embed your practice in small acorn-size attempts.
  • You will always have access to our recorded content. This is for anyone interested in incorporating future foresight skills into their leadership toolkit.
  • We start the week with a micro-moment for reflection and have a debrief newsletter on Thursday.


After registering, watch this space for more information about our asynchronous community.
