OVERVIEW

Education is BrokenOur world of teaching and learning is broken. And almost all of us in the field know it. It's the gigantic elephant in the room that so many teachers and students see and deal with on a daily basis. What we are doing in modern education is not working. Walk into any high school, college, professional development seminar, or religious class today, and odds are you will find some iteration of the same old same old teacher-centered, lecture-heavy, sit-in-rows-and-listen classroom the Western world has been using since the Industrial Revolution. We are stuck in an educational rut, a rut of both practice and principle, that is just not producing much real learning and personal growth. Oh, there may be some minimal amount of knowledge gained, or some incidental learning taking place, but nothing compared to what we as human beings are capable of. The problem is, we are focused in education on teaching for the teachers' sake, or for the sake of those who control the teachers. Our mantra, the root of much of the evil in education, is the idea, "I think you should...." How to Fix EducationWe need a radical shift to a new, student-centered focus. We need to come to believe, really believe in our hearts, that we as teachers are there for the students. We should begin to view our role as that of servants or assistants to each student. And we can do that as we learn to Love, Inquire, Empower, and Inspire our students. This book explains how to have a change of heart and a change of mind, and to set up classrooms and schools that put students first.Who Is This Book For?This book is perfect for you if: You are a teacher seeking to improve your classroom for your studentsYou are an administrator who is passionate about improving schoolsYou teach adults and want to inspire creativity and critical thinkingYou teach in church or a religious settingYou teach workshops or classes for professional development or businessYou've ever thought of being a teacher and you want to be the best teacher possibleCome join with me as we start an education revolution.
