A collective of educators and students engages in immersive art- and design-driven practice to reimagine higher-education and primary-school teaching and learning at, and beyond, the University of Teacher Education. 

Rooted in curiosity, care and attentiveness to diverse histories and voices, the collective offers open-ended impulses that anyone can adapt, question or extend across a growing constellation of educational hubs.

Assignment: Future Teaching Manifesto Spread


Overview:

Students create a two-page spread for a collective “Future Teaching Manifesto,” blending abstract graphics with clear content or emotion-driven visuals to articulate their visions for tomorrow’s learning environments and methods.

  1. Concept & Research (10 min):
    Reflect on emerging educational needs—accessibility, cultural relevance, ecological stewardship—and gather keywords or phrases that capture your manifesto’s core messages.

  2. Layout Sketch (10 min):
    On two adjacent sheets, roughly map where text, visuals, and white space will live. Decide if you’ll foreground abstract shapes, typography, color fields, or emotional imagery.

  3. Graphic Development (20 min):
    Using markers, collage materials, or digital tools, render bold, non-literal forms that evoke your teaching ideals—fluid pathways, network motifs, or cyclical symbols. Ensure visual flow across the gutter.

  4. Content Integration (15 min):
    Layer concise statements, inspiring questions, or poetic lines that ground your spread in meaning. Position words to complement, not overwhelm, your graphics.

  5. Peer Review & Polish (10 min):
    Swap spreads with a classmate. Offer feedback on clarity, inclusivity of tone, and cultural resonance. Refine color balance, legibility, or visual metaphors as needed.

Cultural & Contextual Sensitivity:
Honour varied visual traditions and languages by inviting diverse motifs and typefaces. Choose recyclable materials for physical drafts and ensure your manifesto is accessible—legible fonts, high-contrast palettes, and multilingual captions where relevant. Embrace respectful co-creation: your spread speaks not just for you, but with all learners in mind.
