can do to change the system. I have three responses.<br />
The first is, ‘It was an eighteen-minute talk; give me a<br />
break.’ The second is, ‘If you’re really interested in what<br />
I think, I’ve published various other books, reports, and<br />
strategies on all of this, which you may find helpful.’<br />
The third response is this book.” Ken Robinson<br />
About the book<br />
Ken Robinson is one of the world’s most influential<br />
voices in education. His talk, ‘How Schools Kill<br />
Creativity’, is the most viewed in the history of TED and<br />
has been seen by millions of people all over the world.<br />
In Creative Schools he sets out his practical vision for<br />
how education can be transformed to enable all young<br />
people to flourish and succeed in the 21st century.<br />
In this inspiring, empowering book, Robinson<br />
argues for an end to the outmoded, industrial systems<br />
of mass schooling. He proposes a highly personalized,<br />
organic approach that draws on today’s unprecedented<br />
technological and professional resources to engage all<br />
students and develop their individual abilities.<br />
Written with Robinson’s trademark wit and engaging<br />
style, and filled with practical examples, anecdotes and<br />
groundbreaking research, Creative Schools highlights<br />
the people and projects that are already revolutionizing<br />
education. This book will inspire teachers, parents, and<br />
policymakers to rethink the nature and purpose of education<br />
to benefit students, schools and society as a whole.<br />
