Creative Schools

The Grassroots Revolution That's Transforming Education

De: Lou Aronica, Ken Robinson

Narrado por: Ken Robinson PhD

Ken Robinson is one of the world's most influential voices in education, and his 2006 TED Talk on the subject is the most viewed in the organization's history. Now, the internationally recognized leader on creativity and human potential focuses on one of the most critical issues of our time: how to transform the nation's troubled educational system.

At a time when standardized testing businesses are raking in huge profits, when many schools are struggling, and students and educators everywhere are suffering under the strain, Robinson points the way forward. He argues for an end to our outmoded industrial educational system and proposes a highly personalized, organic approach that draws on today's unprecedented technological and professional resources to engage all students, develop their love of learning, and enable them to face the real challenges of the 21st century.

Filled with anecdotes, case histories, and groundbreaking research, Creative Schools will inspire teachers, parents, and policy makers alike to rethink the real nature and purpose of education.

Practical & Encouraging

Being determined to make a difference in my community, this book was exactly what I needed to exercise my passion for change in education. After hearing great success stories and guided wisdom, I feel more confident moving forward one step and a time. The advice given helps everyone involved in the process of education system, from parents to government officials. Wherever and whoever we are in the system, we can make a difference; and we must.

Insightful

In my opinion, the other Ken Robinson's book is better - Out of Our Minds, whether for its content or for the discussions

Esencial para educadores, padres de familia.

Sir Ken Robinson nos lleva de la mano hacia una verdadera reforma educativa que pone en el centro los enormes recursos de los niños para realizarse en plenitud y los principales errores que debemos evitar.

Great content, really hard to listen to

The content is really interesting for anyone who cares about improving education to help humans live up to their potential. But the reading is so monotonous, which makes it really hard to maintain focus.

The Book Spoke to me

The book spoke to me as a student and as a school leader. I am doing an auto ethnographic study on my professional life and identity and this book is useful to me in understanding why I made the choices I did. I loved the clarity and whit of Sir Ken Robinson reading style . The content was solid.

it's a book length Ted talk

The narrator is the author and he has a wonderful way of describing the potential of education.

Must read or hear

Whether you are in education, parenting or simply curious on the future of our children, you must read this book. It opens so many questions, windows and gives so many perspectives that you feel like it's the beginning of many things.

Not just great for education....
