The Evolution of Education 2020

A new vision for learning that prepares our students to succeed in the workflow of tomorrow. Today's students need to be equipped with the skills to be competitive in the workforce of tomorrow. How may we empower our students to be adaptable, empathetic, collaborative, and independent so they may prosper and succeed in this increasingly technological, and complex, age? In The Evolution of Education, Willard R. Daggett calls on all who care about the future of our children to renew their commitment to equity and excellence in education. Daggett provides a sustainable framework for developing the success skills that students need to grow, work, and thrive into the future. He shows leaders how schools can embrace a new vision for learning that will better prepare students for the challenges and opportunities ahead. Discover the tools necessary to support sustainable school change and help build a strong workforce and prosperous society in The Evolution of Education. Gain the knowledge you need to work toward school transformation that builds on the lessons of the past and the historical strength of the American education system. The author also shares this call-to-action in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and our country's reckoning with racial inequities. The subsequent rise in mental health issues has led many educators to realize that in our drive to increase academic performance, we've lost sight of our single most important responsibility: caring for the whole child. Further, we must be future focused as we address the whole child and as we assimilate new technology. As Daggett writes in the preface, "If we as school leaders are to participate in the evolution of education, we must push past today and look beyond tomorrow-we must embrace the future." Book jacket.
