In a rapidly changing world, it is imperative for schools to remain flexible and adaptable, meeting new challenges with agility and foresight. The most effective way to achieve this is through strategic planning that inclusively gathers and integrates the voices of all community members—students, parents, educators, and local stakeholders. These plans must be communicated transparently and followed diligently, with clear mechanisms for reporting and evaluating progress to ensure accountability and continuous improvement. Purposeful and strategic pursuit of change not only keeps schools relevant and resilient but also maximizes the positive impact on students' learning experiences and future readiness. Only by embracing a collaborative and dynamic approach to change can schools effectively prepare students for the complexities of tomorrow.

On September 6th, 2024, the International School of Busan (ISB) held a half-day on-campus retreat to shape the future of educational technology.
