Publisher's Synopsis
The world of education is changing rapidly. Homeschooling and unschooling are growing faster and faster every year and the liberation of learning from formal institutions is also affecting colleges and universities. Many of the seemingly disparate changes occurring in education are related. Seeing the connections will help you navigate the changes and take full advantage of the opportunities for lifelong learning. This book is a call to embrace change, foster curiosity, and learn more than you think you need to know. If we can step aside our kids can learn great things and so can we. We need to: Stop endlessly testing students. Start talking to them like human beings. Stop lecturing. Start telling stories. Stop assessing outcomes. Start preserving curiosity. Stop assigning textbooks. Start sharing real books. Stop giving answers. Start asking questions. Stop educating. Start learning. Start a conversation. Start connecting. Start a movement.
