Synopsis
John Abbott outlines the narrative of how his ideas about schools, thinking and learning have developed over the years. He draws on evolutionary biology, the science of learning, thinking skills research and sociology to inform his arguments. He is well known in the UK for his work as a teacher and headteacher, and for inspiring the development of the seven Education 2000 projects, and is now the president of the 21st Century Learning Initiative based in Virginia USA. This transnational organisation of researchers and practitioners believes in moving the educational agenda from instruction and schooling to learning and community. This inspiring book describes John Abbotts journey so far....
