Ian Jukes has been a teacher, a school, district, provincial, and national leader, writer, consultant, university instructor, and conference speaker. As Director of the InfoSavvy Group, an international consulting group that provides leadership and program development in the areas of assessment and evaluation, strategic alignment, curriculum design and publication, professional development, planning, change management, hardware and software acquisition, information services, customized research, media services, and online training as well as conference keynotes and workshop presentations.
Over the course of the past 20 years, Ian has worked with clients in more than 80 countries and made more than 13,000 presentations. He typically speaks to between 300,000 and 400,000 people a year.
Ian has written or co-written 23 books, 9 educational series and had more than 100 articles published in various journals.
He was also the creator and co-developer of TechWorks, the internationally successful K-8 technology framework; and was the catalyst of the NetSavvy and InfoSavvy information literacy series. He has been a Contributing Editor for several journals and magazines. His most recently published books include Living on the Future Edge, Understanding the Digital Generation, Literacy is Not Enough, Reinventing Learning For the Alway-on Generation, and LeaderShift 2020. His forthcoming book is A Brief History of the Future of Education.
Ian has also worked for several years with architectural firms to help facilitate planning new learning environments by taking the groups through a visioning process to help them align the thinking of the community (school board, administration, parents, students, community) about what new facilities should look like and how its design should align with the learning and instructional intentions of the school/district. Over the course of the past 20 years he has been involved in the design process for more than 60 new schools.
He also works with organizations and communities that have lost their market or economic base and wish to explore possibilities for preferred economic futures.
But Ian is an educator first and foremost. His focus has consistently been on the compelling need to restructure our educational institutions so that they become relevant to the current and future needs of children. His rambunctious, irreverent and highly charged presentations and articles emphasize many of the practical issues related to ensuring that change is meaningful. As a registered educational evangelist, his self-avowed mission in life is to ensure that children are properly prepared for the future rather than society's past. As a result, his material tends to focus on many of the pragmatic issues that provide the essential context for educational restructuring.
