Product description

Review

One of those rare books that not only inspires and brings a new sense of possibility to the goal of transforming education, but also lays out an actionable strategy . . . This is a global game-changer and I'm in. -- Brené Brown, Ph.D., author of Daring Greatly

Ken Robinson's thesis is compelling . . . Creative Schools brings together his classroom experience and policy ardour in an elegant, powerfully written manifesto for change. -- Tristram Hunt ― Guardian

Wonderful and enjoyable. -- Malala Yousafzai, Nobel Prize Laureate

A comprehensive and compelling statement of why creativity matters for everyone, what it looks like in action, and how to get there. Inspiring and so readable you will feel Sir Ken is talking directly to you. -- Andy Hargreaves, author of Professional Capital

This book is a wake-up call to the emerging global human resources crisis . . . a must-read. -- Pasi Sahlberg, author of Finnish Lessons 2.0

Forget the chatter about disruptive technological and economic forces in education. Ken Robinson and Lou Aronica vividly describe the disruptions that are needed if we are to have quality education in our time. -- Howard Gardner, author of Five Minds for the Future

Ken Robinson is the world's most potent advocate of global education transformation; his clarity, passion and insight have inspired millions, including me. This book is not only a catalyst, or call to action; it is a manifesto; a practical exploration and celebration of what is possible. Now it's up to us; we must read, react and accelerate the revolution -- Richard Gerver, author of Creating Tomorrow’s Schools Today

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    I am the author of several works of fiction and nonfiction, including the New York Times bestseller, THE ELEMENT (written with Sir Ken Robinson) and the national bestseller, THE CULTURE CODE (written with Dr. Clotaire Rapaille). Prior to focusing on writing, I spent two decades as a senior executive in the publishing industry, including stints as Publisher of Avon Books and Deputy Publisher of Bantam Books. I am currently Publisher of the independent publishing house The Story Plant.

    My novels fall roughly into three categories. There are the HEARTS OF MEN books, which focus on men facing moments when they are most vulnerable and striving to find a path forward. There are my Gold Family novels, which follow an ensemble cast of characters through their evolving lives in a small town in New England. And then there are the fantasies, which explore themes like divorce, the power of imagination, and reconnecting with your soul from a fantastic perspective.

    I live in southern Connecticut with my wife and four kids.

Reviewed in Australia on 21 September 2015
This book provides some interesting talking points on education. Many readers will already be familiar with Ken Robinson's work, but if you're not this is as good a place to start as any.

5.0 out of 5 stars A look into how the future of Education could be
Reviewed in India on 9 January 2022

What does personalised learning even mean? How do we get away from the industrial culture currently pervading Education? What role can Teachers, Principals, Politicians and parents play in improving education for their kids?

Sir Ken Robinson answers all these questions and more, with plenty of examples showing a ray of hope and a glimpse of what the future of learning could be. Anyone inspired by Sir Robinson's TED talk about changing education paradigms but has more questions on "how exactly to do so?" must read this book for potential answers.

Libro molto ricco di suggerimenti concreti per cambiare il mondo della scuola. Utile anche per chi si occupa di formazione in azienda perché, almeno a me, alcuni metodi didattico-pedagogici non sono così conosciuti. Alcune lungaggini sul sistema scolastico americano ma basta saltarle e non inficiano sulla comprensione dei contenuti successivi
