Educational futuristics_a creative mix of dynamic pedagogy and evolving futuristics_offers KD12 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 KD12 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 KD12 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.
Distinguished sociologist and pioneering futurist Arthur B. Shostak has produced one of the most important books of our time. His new Create the School You Want is a master guide for bringing school systems into the twenty-first century and empowering our children by fully preparing them for the coming future. If educators would follow the course that Shostak and his contributors propose, they would bring the present crisis of the American K–12 education to an end.
