Education: A Manifesto for Change
This is a call to arms to inspire all those involved in education to consider how our school system can be made fit for purpose in our turbulent 21st-century world. Renowned educationalist, Richard Gerver, argues that educators must work together to find innovative, creative strategies to prepare students for lives ahead of them and to teach them skills and knowledge that will be valuable far beyond formal education. Schools must collaborate with people and organisations beyond their normal experiences, so they can be the catalysts of a better, more connected and more coherent future for today’s children – tomorrow’s adults.
With unique insights from global figures, including Barack Obama and Steve Wozniak, perspectives from elite sports coaches, and international examples, this book is an empowering, optimistic vision for a new year forward for educators everywhere.
Creating Tomorrow’s Schools Today
Children today are growing up in an increasingly complex world. A good education is more important than ever to help them navigate the challenges the future holds.
This book explores whether our education system is still fit for purpose. Is it preparing our children for this fast-paced environment? Or are we failing our children by leaving their potential unfulfilled?
Richard addresses these questions in the context of early schooling and presents powerful arguments that suggest an imperative for change. He explores possible solutions and examples based on his experiences as headmaster at Grange Primary School where he developed a creative and futures facing system, bringing global recognition and success to a school on the verge of failure.
The pace of change is greater than ever. We face new challenges every day in all aspects of our lives. Those who can handle change are the most fulfilled. Those who fear change will find it hardest to thrive.
In two years as headmaster, Richard famously transformed a failing school into one of the most acclaimed learning environments in the world. He inspired staff and teachers to reach their full potential. As a hugely popular speaker and author, he now helps individuals and companies to embrace change.
This book is his powerful personal reflection on change. Full of wisdom and practical insights, it will help you in any situation you face. Whether you are leading a company through change or looking for a new direction in life, let Richard Gerver be your guide.
Life is full of unnecessary complexity, leaving most of us confused, angry and disenfranchised. This book will help you cut through the metaphorical clutter to expand your mind and understand your true potential through the power of thinking simply.
You’ll learn how to recalibrate your thoughts, behaviours and actions, trust your instincts and streamline your ideas to devise simple solutions to complex problems both in life and work.
You’ll realise that when you expose the layers and get to the heart of a problem you’re now well equipped with clarity and confidence to conceive a simpler yet more effective solution.
