Educating Ruby

Fülszöveg

Everyone knows schools need rethinking, but few speak from the perspectives of children, families and teachers.
Most offer simplistic critiques, creating false opposites between traditionalist and progressive viewpoints. Acclaimed educational thought-leaders Guy Claxton and Bill Lucas suggest something different and more optimistic. Just as Willy Russell's Educating Rita helped us rethink university, the authors of Educating Ruby invite fresh scrutiny of schools.
Educating Ruby is a powerful call to action for everyone who worries that our school system is not preparing children for the uncertainties and challenges of the real world. It shows how we can cultivate confidence, curiosity, collaboration, communication, creativity, commitment and craftsmanship in children at the same time as helping them to achieve success in public examinations.
Educating Ruby is essential reading for everyone who cares about the future of education in our country.
