      "Imagination and creativity are at the root of every uniquely human achievement and those achievements have brought us to this present moment. We are now the largest population in human history: seven and half billion people, rising to nine billion by 2050. Our technologies are evolving exponentially, but spiritually and emotionally, we're not keeping pace. Our appetites are straining the earth's capacity to sustain us, and our attempts to force it to do so are fuelling a holocaust of other species. Communities across the globe are still locked in ancient cultural conflicts, and while the majority of people are materially more comfortable than ever before, there are global epidemics of depression and anxiety. To meet these existential challenges, we have to harness our creativity to a more compassionate and sustainable vision of the world we want to live in and the lives we hope to lead. To do that, we have to create new systems of education for the future and for our children that are based on organic principles of diversity, creativity, and collaboration." -- Publisher's description

      At a time when standardized testing businesses are raking in huge profits, when many schools are struggling, and students and educators everywhere are suffering under the strain, Ken Robinson argues for an end to our outmoded industrial educational system. He proposes instead a highly personalized, organic approach that draws on today's unprecedented technological and professional resources to engage all students, develop their love of learning, and enable them to face the real challenges of the twenty-first century. Filled with anecdotes, observations, and recommendations from professionals on the front line of transformative education, case histories, and groundbreaking research, Creative Schools aims to inspire teachers, parents, and policy makers alike to rethink the real nature and purpose of education.

    • Jest pewien paradoks: większość dzieci ma wspaniałą i twórczą wyobraźnię. Większość dorosłych uważa, że nie ma. Co się z nimi dzieje, kiedy dorastają? Dlaczego tak wielu dorosłych myśli, że sami nie są kreatywni (ani zbytnio inteligentni), podczas gdy inni ludzie są? Jaki jest prawdziwy problem i co można z nim zrobić? W tej przełomowej i inspirującej książce Ken Robinson pokazuje, że wszyscy jesteśmy kreatywni. Przekonuje, że na całym świecie organizacje próbują naprawić problem, którego źródłem są szkoły i uniwersytety. Wielu ludzi kończy edukację nie mając pojęcia, jakie są ich prawdziwe twórcze zdolności. Wszyscy mamy wielkie naturalne zdolności, jednakże wszyscy mamy je na swój sposób. W potężny i oryginalny sposób autor mówi, dlaczego tak jest i co organizacje i jednostki mogą natychmiast zrobić, żeby wydobyć swoje kreatywne talenty.
