TRENDS THAT WILL SHAPE
K–12 EDUCATION IN 2018
1
Schools will prefer integrated and interdisciplinary
resources: There is growing trend for schools to
prefer integrated solutions where textbooks, digital
resources and assessments are all aligned to enable a
superior and easier teaching-learning experience.2
Portable learning: Learning no longer needs to be
confined to a place or time; anytime and anyplace
that suits the student is a good time to learn.3
Data-driven instruction: Teachers are increasingly
able to access far deeper information about
students than was ever possible even 3 years ago. This
will give rise to smarter, more effective instruction in
the future.4
Parent unions: Parents are mobilizing like unions
and questioning everything that a school does
from choice of uniforms and textbooks, fees and fee
increases, extra-curricular activities, and instruction
strategies, etc.5
Increased focus on health and safety: With increased
school violence, parents are far more demanding of
proper security protocols and policies.
