If we took the time to help students to discover 'their element' instead of force-feeding a strict one-dimensional test-infused curriculum, we truly would transform education in one generation. Every superintendent, principal, teacher, and parent needs to read this book. Every university should require their school of education to not only read it themselves, but include it in their teacher candidate's arsenal. It changed my life.
Ken Robinson is a great storyteller, weaving together many stories into a powerful statement on where we are and where we ought to be. By the DJinator Ken Robinson is creative writer who can inspire people through his influential and powerful words.
