Praise for Creative Schools " Creative Schools is wonderful and enjoyable. Must be read by anyone who wants to stop our children from losing their talent. It makes us rethink what real schooling, learning, and creativity means." - MALALA YOUSAFZAI, author of I Am Malala and Nobel Prize Laureate "Ken Robinson's Creative Schools oOffers a brilliant and compelling vision for what education must become. His Robinson's powerful call to action cites wonderful examples where the education of the future is happening today. Don't miss this important book!" - TONY WAGNER, author of Creating Innovators and The Global Achievement Gap and Expert In Residence at Harvard University's Innovation Lab "Make me care. Sir Ken and Lou turn these three words into a mantra for the future of education. We don't do education to students, we do it with them. I hope every teacher and every parent reads this." - SETH GODIN, author of Stop Stealing Dreams "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 "From the pen of the world's expert on creativity comes a comprehensive and compelling statement of why creativity matters for everyone, what it looks like in action, what kinds of curriculum and assessment systems are needed to support it, 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 and Thomas More Brennan Chair at Boston College's Lynch School of Education "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 "This is the book we have been waiting for from Sir Ken Robinson -laying out what is fundamentally wrong with our education systems, and correspondingly showing what and how it should and could be different. He makes creativity, and much more, come alive. Don't start reading this book unless you have three hours before you, as you will have difficulty putting it down. Then, think about what you might do and re-read the book with others to start making the changes. Creative schools indeed! The timing is perfect." - MICHAEL FULLAN, OC. Professor Emeritus, OISE/University of Toronto and author of The Principal: Three Keys to Maximizing Impact "Sir Ken Robinson does it again with this compelling book. His explanations and examples are spot on. As Creative Schools shows, there's no denying the change is occurring." - ELLIOT WASHOR, Co-Founder of Big Picture Learning and author of Leaving to Learn , Praise for Creative Schools " Make me care .

Synopsis
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., 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 .
