Transforming Education

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.

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.<br/><br/><br/>Key ideas are summarised at the end of each chapter along with an extensive referencing and bibliography and a supporting glossary.
