When we say 'action' we mean 'business' : bringing teachers, lecturers, employers and students together in partnerships

This chapter is about the Bachelor of Learning Management logic and its realisation at the Noosa campus of CQU. The fundamental proposition underlying this paper is that rapid and irreversible social changes that affect student behaviours, work place conditions and the knowledge and skill base require a reassessment of teaching and ultimately, the ways schooling itself operates. It follows that preparing teachers for these conditions, that are already upon school systems, entails a different kind of curriculum and a decidedly different work-place in which prospective teachers (learning managers) can develop a futures capability. To develop these ideas, the paper explores how such presuppositions are played out in the Bachelor of Learning Management (BLM) program at Noosa, when the design process is part ofa collaborative project with teachers, students teachers and school authorities.
