Summary:
"Across Canada, a debate swirls around what our children will need to know in the face of huge technological, economic, social and political change - what we should be doing to prepare children now for the challenges of the future. The authors draw on their experiences as educational leaders to reveal that the schools of the future exist in the here and now. They introduce us to extraordinary Canadian public schools, deeply rooted in their communities, that are fostering innovators, nimble problem-solvers and engaged citizens, boosting math comprehension, cultivating creativity and using technology to broaden the parameters of learning. And they explore why the role of schools is expanding to nurture students' social-emotional skills and growth mindsets, and how vital this broader definition of education is to children's long-term health, happiness and success. A vision of what schooling can and should look like in our rapidly shifting world and explores how we - parents and teachers - can realize this vision together. Kelly Gallagher-Mackay is a lawyer, researcher and education activist. She is an assistant professor of Law and Society at Wilfrid Laurier University. She has two children in the public school system in Toronto. Nancy Steinhauer is an educational leader with over twenty years of experience, ranging from Canada's top private schools to diverse, inner city schools. After spending two years working for the Ontario Ministry of Education as a Student Achievement Officer, Nancy recently took the helm as principal at The Mabin School, one of Canada’s first Ashoka Changemaker Schools"--Provided by publisher.
