Working away from trends in government policy, this book takes a
future-oriented re-imagining of schools with a focus on four innate
human capacities: collaboration, critical reflection, communication and
creativity. Miranda Jefferson and Michael Anderson draw together
examples of practice from around the world, including Australia, France,
New Zealand and Spain, to provide a reimagining of education. They show
how our schools can be sustainably transformed to be places of support,
challenge and joy in learning, responding to student's needs and the
needs in our workplaces and wider society. Readers are empowered to use
knowledge and experience to build the reality they would like to see in
their school, building engaged, innovative and active learning, pedagogy
curriculum and leadership.
Key ideas are summarised at the end of each chapter along with an
extensive referencing and bibliography, and a supporting glossary.
