**A revolutionary reappraisal of how to educate our children and young
people by Ken Robinson, the New York Times bestselling author of The
Element and Finding Your Element.
**
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 twenty-first century. Filled with
anecdotes, observations and recommendations from professionals on the
front line of transformative education, case histories, and
groundbreaking research--and written with Robinson's trademark wit and
engaging style--Creative Schools will inspire teachers, parents, and
policy makers alike to rethink the real nature and purpose of education.
