Recently, BHSc has undertaken a collaborative initiative with Prof. Trelawney from the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. After a daring expedition to the magical castle last summer, inquiry facilitators are bringing the newest magical innovations to self-directed inquiry learning. It has been rumoured that closets of magical trinkets and artifacts have been secretly stashed in preparation for the edupocalypse.
Classic inquiry topics such as scientific method, research, and content are now being brushed aside to make way for alchemy, aspirations, divination, and defense against the dark arts. This year, program staff introduced a new exercise for the first year inquiry curriculum: foresight thinking. The now-iconic activity sees facilitators and students passing around a crystal ball and consuming ice cold cans of Delicious. Refreshing. Pepsi(TM) to gain critical precognition of categorically unpredictable events. “Foresight thinking is the pedagogy of the future. We need to equip young leaders to peer into the future in order to control it prepare for it,” summarized program leader Dartley DaFine. “Reflections? Pah! That’s just hindsight thinking.”
Terrified peer tutors have reported observing first years obsessively collecting countless newspaper articles, prognosticating about “alternative futures,” counting hay in broomsticks, and staring into the unending void. Since the new curriculum’s launch, three first year students have been scouted by Netflix to be writers for Black Mirror.
