Why Education Keeps Preparing Kids for the Wrong Future | Owen Losse

What if we're preparing young people for a future that will never
exist?

After more than 15 years working across education systems and
helping schools improve outcomes for students, Owen Losse has
reached a surprising conclusion: we spend too much time trying to
predict the future, and not enough time understanding how people
actually learn.

In this conversation, Owen draws on his experience as an
education leader to explore one of the biggest questions facing
education today:

How do we prepare people for a future we can't predict?

From AI and the surprising history of the chalkboard to
confidence, practical skills, and why learning has to be hard,
this conversation challenges many of our assumptions about
education, technology, and what it really means to prepare people
for an unknowable future.

Whether you're an educator, parent, leader, builder, or lifelong
learner, you'll walk away with a different perspective on
learning—and why the most important skills may be the ones that
never go out of date.
