Unlocking Talent Potential schools have to prepare students

Unlocking Talent & Potential

‘. . . schools have to prepare students for jobs that have not yet been created, technologies that have not yet been invented and problems that we don't yet know will arise. ’ Andreas Schleicher, OECD Education Directorate, 2010

The ‘Unlocking Talent & Potential’ model, now being piloted in EU three countries, connects employers’ needs with educational priorities and creates meaningful learning experiences for young people, helping to develop: § Personal motivation § Future aspirations § Life skills

‘Forum’ is a place for schools to cultivate fresh ideas and great examples of ways to help young people make informed choices about their future lives. Teachers and leaders can access – and contribute to – resources initially developed during a threeyear, government-funded programme in the UK.

§ Self-audit framework to support strategy development and implementation § Portfolio of briefings and toolkit resources to support implementation in school § Case study examples of employer-supported curriculum-linked projects § Case study template, enabling schools to contribute examples of good practice § Online discussion to exchange ideas, experiences and partnership opportunities
