哈佛教育學院的一門青年創新課

Despite the best efforts of educators, our nation's schools are dangerously obsolete. Instead of teaching students to be critical thinkers and problem-solvers, we are asking them to memorize facts for multiple choice tests. This problem isn't limited to low-income school districts: even our top schools aren't teaching or testing the skills that matter most in the global knowledge economy. Our teens leave school equipped to work only in the kinds of jobs that are fast disappearing from the American economy. Meanwhile, young adults in India and China are competing with our students for the most sought-after careers around the world. Education expert Tony Wagner has conducted scores of interviews with business leaders and observed hundreds of classes in some of the nation's most highly regarded public schools. He discovered a profound disconnect between what potential employers are looking for in young people today (critical thinking skills, creativity, and effective communication) and what our schools are providing (passive learning environments and uninspired lesson plans that focus on test preparation and reward memorization). He explains how every American can work to overhaul our education system, and he shows us examples of dramatically different schools that teach all students new skills. In addition, through interviews with college graduates and people who work with them, Wagner discovers how teachers, parents, and employers can motivate the &"net"; generation to excellence. An education manifesto for the twenty-first century, The Global Achievement Gap is provocative and inspiring. It is essential reading for parents, educators, business leaders, policy-makers, and anyone interested in seeing our young people succeed as employees and citizens.

Why Our Kids Don't Have the Skills They Need for College, Careers, and Citizenship -- and What We Can Do About It

This book provides a guide for a long-overdue public dialogue about why and how we need to reinvent our nation's schools. How has the world changed for our children; what do all students need to know in light of these changes; how do we hold students and schools accountable for results; what do good schools look like; and what must leaders do to create more of these schools? These are some of the questions that drive this book. The answers emerging to these questions may surprise many. The most successful public schools of the 21st century look a lot more like our 19th century village schools than our current factory model of schooling. This book describes these "new village schools" that have been created in the last decade and suggests that they are a prototype for the schools of the future.

A Practical Guide to Transforming Our Schools

Change Leadership

Ce fel de educație poate ajuta copiii de azi pentru a reuși în era informației și a inovării? Cum poate fi încurajată creativitatea tinerilor angajați? În ce mod părinții pot cultiva curiozitatea și inventivitatea celor mici? Plecând de la triunghiul joc-pasiune-determinare, Tony Wagner reface traseul formativ al câtorva dintre cei mai străluciți inovatori ai zilelor noastre, de la inginerul care a contribuit decisiv la crearea primului iPhone, la activiști sociali care născocesc, în Africa, „biciclete“ ieftine pentru depănușat. Pe lângă interviurile cu aceste minți pline de creativitate, Wagner discută și cu profesorii și părinții acestor inovatori. Scopul său este să arate cât de importantă este o copilărie în care sunt încurajate pasiunile celor mici și cât de mult contează modelul personal al dascălilor dedicați. De asemenea, sunt descrise câteva dintre liceele și facultățile americane cele mai vizionare ca programă și ca abordare interdisciplinară. „Cum putem da fiecărui copil sau tânăr șansa de a fi creativ și de a fi educat pentru inovație? Cum ne asigurăm că viitorii «transformatori» ai lumii sunt pregătiți să răspundă provocărilor? Profesorul de pedagogie Tony Wagner dă răspunsuri și soluții surprinzătoare în această carte, pe care o recomand în primul rând celor care au fost împiedicați cel puțin o dată să fie inovatori...“ - Prof. univ. dr. Lucian Ciolan, coordonatorul colecției „Educație și formare“, decanul Facultății de Psihologie și Științele Educației, Universitatea din București

Formarea inovatorilor. Cum crești tinerii care vor schimba lumea de mâine

“A page turner. With candor and clarity, Tony Wagner tells the story of his remarkable life and, in so doing, tells the story of our education system.” —Angela Duckworth, Founder and CEO, Character Lab, and New York Times bestselling author of Grit One of the world's top experts on education delivers an uplifting memoir on his own personal failures and successes as he sought to become a good learner and teacher. Tony Wagner is an eminent education specialist: he has taught at every grade level from high school through graduate school; worked at Harvard; done significant work for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; and speaks across the country and all over the world. But before he found his success, Wagner was kicked out of middle school, expelled from high school, and dropped out of two colleges. Learning by Heart is his powerful account of his years as a student and teacher. After struggling in both roles, he learned to create meaningful learning experiences despite the constraints of conventional schooling--initially for himself and then for his students--based on understanding each student's real interests and strengthening his or her intrinsic motivations. Wagner's story sheds light on critical issues facing parents and educators today, and reminds us that trial and error, resilience, and respect for the individual, are at the very heart of all teaching and learning.
