Education: A Manifesto for Change
Autor Richard Gerveren Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 mai 2019
This ground-breaking book is both a manifesto and a call to arms to inspire all those involved in education to consider new visions and values for the future of the school system. Renowned educationalist, speaker and author Richard Gerver offers an empowering vision for how education, both in the UK and internationally, can be transformed and made fit for purpose in the 21st century and beyond.
Education has never been more important than it is now but the current school system lacks the continuity and longevity required to ensure young people can survive and thrive as we continue to head into the unknown. Education: A Manifesto for Change argues that students must be prepared for the lives ahead of them; they must understand how important and valuable what they learn in school will be long after they have left formal education. To facilitate this, Richard encourages educators to walk outside the school gates themselves, learning from and 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.
In this thought-provoking new book, Richard, bestselling author of Creating Tomorrow's Schools Today, shares his experiences of working with global businesses and talking education with Barack Obama, Steve Wozniak, senior managers at Google, and elite sports coaches working with Great Britain's Olympic and Paralympic teams and the English Premier League. Taking an international perspective, the book includes examples from the US, China and Colombia.

Recenzii
In this powerful book Gerver calls for a collaborative vision for education that will prepare society to 'thrive in uncertainty'. He shares sharp insight achieved through school leadership uniquely combined with global experience of working with eminent leaders throughout industry. A great read.
Richard Gerver's book gives a personal yet authoritative account of the current state of UK education, and also provides a refreshingly optimistic perspective on where we might go next.
In this refreshing, honest and deeply personal book, Richard Gerver builds on all his international experience to set out a manifesto for change in education, with collaboration, openness and optimism at its core.
Intelligent, passionate, honest and at times contentious, Richard Gerver does not simply present a manifesto for education. He gives us joined-up thinking about how education, business and society can work and succeed together.
Richard Gerver not only writes about optimism, he exemplifies it and we desperately need that now. It is an optimism founded in his wide and unique experience and definitely worth sharing. Read this book!
This is unpicking Richard's 25 years in education, but also the last 10 years on top of his work in schools, on his travel around the world. I found this book a very fascinating insight... Richard influenced my work as a deputy head five or six years ago... He's written quite a few books now. Two of them definitely changed the way I thought about school life, teacher workload, mental health, and what influence we can have on the system, how we can change the narrative.
This book is not a manifesto where teachers get beaten with negative, bureaucratic or performance threats, but it is a manifesto of optimism, fellowship and common sense. If you are working within education and feel beaten by the system you are working in, then explore this book to help re-ignite the passion, belief and hopes that you undoubtedly had during your induction years.
Instead of the book being the gun-slinging shootout with the system and rival ideologies I imagined, I was instead taken on an immersive and surprising journey. It was a journey that meandered through the author's years of observing and connecting with a wide range of people, experiences and insights. A bare-foot journey, which felt reflective, authentic and, as the title suggests, potentially leading to change.
