Escuelas creativas: La revolución que está transformando la educación

Un enfoque revolucionario sobre cómo educar. Robinson desarrolla en Escuelas creativas las ideas de su famosa charla TED «Cómo la escuela mata la creatividad» y ofrece soluciones innovadoras y revolucionarias para uno de los problemas más relevantes de nuestra sociedad: cómo transformar un sistema educativo que no funciona. En una época en la que los procesos de evaluación se estandarizan, las escuelas pasan por momentos difíciles y tanto estudiantes como educadores sufren una presión enorme, Robinson nos ofrece soluciones prácticas para terminar con el caduco sistema educativo actual heredado de la Revolución Industrial. Para lograrlo, propone darle a la educación un enfoque personalizado. Sugiere aprovechar el potencial de los recursos tecnológicos y profesionales disponibles y fomentar así la participación de los estudiantes para que pierdan el miedo a equivocarse, desarrollen su pasión por aprender y su creatividad, y estén preparados para afrontar los retos que les depare el futuro. Repleto de anécdotas, casos, investigaciones y consejos de profesionales pioneros en el tema, Escuelas creativas apasionará a cualquier interesado en la educación, porque le hará replantearse muchas ideas preconcebidas y le ayudará a reflexionar sobre cuál es realmente el verdadero sentido de la educación en el siglo XXI. Grandes autores e investigadores de la educación opinan... «Escuelas creativas es un libro maravilloso y ameno. Hace que te replantees el sentido auténtico de la escuela, el aprendizaje y la creatividad.» Malala Yousafzai, autora de Yo soy Malala, Premio Nobel de la Paz 2014 «'Capta mi interés.' Robinson y Aronica convierten estas tres palabras en un lema para la educación del futuro. No hacemos la educación para los alumnos, sino con ellos. Espero que todos los profesores y padres lean este libro.» Seth Godin, autor de La vaca púrpura «Olvida la cháchara acerca de la irrupción de la tecnología y de la economía en la educación. Ken Robinson y Lou Aronica nos explican de forma clara los cambios necesarios si queremos una educación de calidad.» Howard Gardner, autor de Inteligencias múltiples «Ken Robinson es el mayor y más influyente defensor de la transformación global de la educación; su clarividencia, pasión y perspicacia han inspirado a millones de personas, yo incluido. Este libro no es una celebración de lo que se puede conseguir.» Richard Gerver, autor de El cambio y Crear hoy la escuela de mañana

Jesse, who believes that Christmas is first and foremost about giving of yourself to help others, has been trying to get the rest of the club to follow her lead, and this year – their senior year – they have finally agreed. But, of course, being the Thursday Night Club, they need to turn it into a contest.

The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything

The Element is the point at which natural talent meets personal passion. When people arrive at the Element, they feel most themselves, most inspired, and achieve at their highest levels. The Element draws on the stories of a wide range of people: Paul McCartney, The Simpsons creator Matt Groening, Meg Ryan, Gillian Lynne, who choreographed the Broadway productions of Cats and The Phantom of the Opera, journalist Arianna Huffington, renowned physicist Richard Feynman, and many others, including business leaders and athletes. It explores the components of this new paradigm: the diversity of intelligence, the power of imagination and creativity, and the importance of commitment to our own capabilities. With a wry sense of humor, Ken Robinson looks at the conditions that enable us to find ourselves in the Element and those that stifle that possibility. He shows that age and occupation are no barrier and that once we have found our path, we can help others do so as well. The Element shows the vital need to enhance creativity and innovation by thinking differently about human resources and imagination. It is an essential strategy for transforming education, business, and communities to meet the challenges of living and succeeding in the twenty-first century.
