Produktbeschreibung

Educational futuristics-a creative mix of dynamic pedagogy and evolving futuristics-offers K-12 professionals, parents of school-age children, and youngsters alike a new tool for upgrading the learning that significantly shapes our future. This book makes a case for its empowering employ, offers over twenty pragmatic classroom exercises, warns against employment mistakes, calls for a paradigm shift in K-12 education, and details ways to get there from here. Building on a the previous book by the author (Anticipate the School You Want), this new book responds to questions raised by readers of that book and adds ideas from eleven experts. Unique on the shelf of K-12 advocacy material, Creating the School You Want recommends long-overdue attention to tomorrow-to ways of making, studying, assessing, and employing forecasts the better to assure a finer tomorrow.
