IN THIS INSPIRING BOOK, entrepreneur, educator, and creativity expert,
Emily Greene, shows us how the disruption of school during the pandemic
is our watershed moment to reinvent a better way to learn.
The coronavirus pandemic brought our lives to a halt, daily routines
were upended, and school changed overnight. While pandemic-era learning
is exposing the glaring deficiencies in our school systems, Greene lays
out an uplifting, achievable way for parents, caregivers, and educators
to help children rediscover the joy of learning.
She shares new research, combined with personal stories, tips, and
activities, to help lighten the load that parents and children feel as
we navigate this unprecedented disruption of school. She guides us
through the Seven Wonders of Learning--Unlearning, Free Time, Curiosity,
Making, Creativity, Individuality, and Joy--offering practical
strategies to help bring back balance and optimism as we reimagine
school.
We walk away uplifted, with a new perspective on how to use this
unexpected disruption of our children's schooling to nurture their
hearts, souls, and natural curiosities. We carry forward a can-do sense
of urgency to help our children come away from this difficult period
with new insight, strength, and a reclaimed joy of learning.
