The Future Ready Skills (FRS) are a pedagogical framework developed by a group of primary and secondary teachers in Perth WA, who share a vision to effectively use evidence based approaches to develop their student's learning skills, dispositions, resilience and confidence. The FRS skills are Collaboration, Communication, Critical Thinking, Creativity and Community. These skills map to the Australian Curriculum General Capabilities and Government and Industry priorities.  

FRS develops student metacognition of their developing cognitive and interpersonal skills and a common language. Primary and secondary students need to develop that self-awareness alongside fluencies in technologies, literacy and self-management as they prepare for success in rapidly changing society, work roles and daily life. 

The resources in this site are designed to help teachers from Foundation to year 10 to teach and record progress in student development through skills progressions. The group of educators that have developed this framework gathered with Australian Schools Plus support to develop the FRS and competition Robotics Clubs in Gosnells Western Australia. We realised the importance of these skills for competition success and began capturing the skills progressions. Interest from other teachers has led us to develop supporting resources for the progressions and our regional schools network adopting our framework as a part of whole school pedagogies.
