PLANET CLASSROOM

Our Challenges

The Planet Classroom Challenges are a World Community Action Plan Bringing Learners in Global Classrooms Closer Together.

What We Care About

The Future of Work

Machine Intelligence is automating jobs. New jobs are being created. The skill sets required for both old and new jobs will change in most industries and transform how and where we work.

Technology

The Internet is the gateway to all knowledge. Learners have millions of new tools at their fingertips.  How will we navigate our “man enhanced by machine” versus “man against machine” futures?

Student Voice

Modern learning is student-centered. How can modern curricula allow students to follow their passions and take ownership of their own learning?

Teachers Matter

Teachers are the critical link to the development of the world’s children.  How are they using their professional knowledge and skills to mentor and support their students?

Innovation

Technology will replace jobs, but we’re in a uniquely exciting time – a time in which we can create new start-ups and new employment opportunities. What kind of learning matters?

Privacy Watch

Big Data is being created, used and shared on a vast scale.  There’s more information to guide us but there are also more risks for cybersecurity and privacy protection.

Well-Being

Beyond schoolwork, jobs, and income, how’s your quality of life?  Happiness, health, purpose, security, and civic engagement matter.

Global Citizens

Wanted: Learning that brings learners closer together, and active global citizens ready, willing, and able to embrace and support an interconnected world.

Equality

The strength and stability of nations and their economic health are driven by educational opportunity, regardless of race, gender or economic status.

A Plan for Our Planet

193 countries signed up to support the UN’s 17 sustainable development goals for our planet and its people. The plan included promises to end poverty, feed everyone, create stability and peace, provide quality education and protect the future of our world.
