Eventually more specific, online courses will be available so that students can make progress on their own, and in which the teacher will become a facilitator guiding students through collaborations and class discussions, but students will basically getting great part of the knowledge and their practice from online platforms that take/incorporate differentiation/modification according to the student's profile

I feel that DP is very knowledge/concepts-oriented which sometimes relies still a lot on the teacher-centered approach the courses still having a hard theoretical part to acquire. Shifting to a more NGSS-oriented approach will allow students to explore more this inquirer profile that they need to develop, so that a topic can be studied from a phenomenon to explain from the beginning, and making learning more of an intuitive and practical skill to develop and strengthen on a daily basis.

ESS being a rare case among the curricula offered, will become little by little more common. The main idea behind this is to create further connection between the different disciplines. In that way, instead of students choosing one particular science subject will have the possibility to take a "combined science" subject in which they can learn a topic from different perspectives (chemistry, biological and physics point of view, for example)
