Ken Robinson on Creative Schools

For years now, Sir Ken Robinson has been tirelessly explaining  that conformity in education does not work.  That it is the enemy not only of creativity, but of an authentic life.  But understanding the problem, even articulating it as brilliantly as Sir Ken Robinson has, in his Ted Talk, viewed over 32 million times, his book The Element, and in his other books and lectures, is only half the battle.  The other half is to define and design the kind of 21st Century schools that can achieve this.In his new work Creative Schools: The Grassroots Revolution That's Transforming Education, he argues for an end to our outmoded industrial educational system and proposes a highly personalized, organic approach that draws on today’s technological and professional resources to engage all students, develop their innate curiosity and love of learning, and enable them to face the real challenges ahead and feel at home in the world they will inherit.My conversation with Sir Ken Robinson: Get full access to Talk Cocktail Podcast at jeffschechtman.substack.com/subscribe
