Yong
Zhao
again
provokes
and
challenges
our
thinking
by
sounding
a
call
to
immediate
action.
Our
education
system
must
fundamentally
change
to
meet
the
needs
of
our
children.
With
insightful
personal
stories
and
penetrating
analysis
of
our
current
education
system,
Zhao,
at
once
challenging,
provocative,
and
optimistic,
shows
us
that
personalizable
education
models
are
the
way
to
transform
our
education
system
from
one
that
supports
mediocrity
to
one
which
magnifies
the
passions
and
talents
of
each
student.
A bold and compelling call for a wholesale shift in our education priorities. With powerful stories and examples, Dr. Zhao lays out an aspirational goal for our schools: empower each child to create a distinctive path to greatness by reinforcing strengths and unleashing passions. Read this, and you’ll be inspired!
Reach for Greatnessis a must-read for the truly professional educator today. Common sense and expert practice are hard to find. Yong Zhao brings insight and intelligence in arguing for a dramatic shift of thinking about schooling that is fit for today’s world. This book helps give shape to a robust narrative sorely needed for every student.
Are you keen for the real depth and substance of an education that helps all students to reach their full potential but tired of empty promises for "personalized learning”? If so, Yong Zhao's Reaching for Greatness is the book for you! With vivid examples and carefully scaffolded argumentation, Zhao shows how what he calls "personalizable education" offers an exciting and practical future for all of our students truly to become great. Zhao's writing is so full of whimsy and humor that you can't wait to see what this wonderful alchemist of educational change is going to say next. Best of all, this gem of a book is one that not only all teachers, but also a rising generation of students, will cherish.
Reading a book by Yong Zhao is always an educational awakening! InReach for Greatness, Zhao makes it clear that students are the potential for greatness within schools, not a problem our educational system needs to fix. This book challenges educators to re-examine the true purpose of education and commit to supporting students’ passions and cultivating their strengths. Personalizable education occurs when students are in the driver’s seat—their voices need to be heard, valued, and acted upon. Thanks to Yong, I am more determined than ever to ensure that students are not just along for the ride.
Yong Zhao, ever the engaging education contrarian, delivers a compelling read that systematically outlines how to break away from educational systems that narrow, dictate, and sort learners, and readjust to focus on students’ unique skills, needs, and passions. It brings the role of education - in society and for the individual - to the forefront and, in doing so, has the reader reappraise its purpose. Moving beyond just a recommendation of personalization, Yong promotes the idea of education personalizedby, not for, the leaner.
Yong Zhao pulls us from our narrow view of what education is and reminds us what it needs to be. Personalized education (as opposed to the ubiquitous and limited notion of personalized learning) is essential for recognizing and cultivating the diverse strengths of our students for their own good and the good of society. Poignant stories from Yong's global travels to schools make the research in this call to action relatable and accessible for all educational stakeholders. This is an important read!
In Reach for Greatness, Yong Zhao makes the urgent case for empowering every young person to recognize their strengths, realize their talents, and follow their passions. Furthermore, his idea of empowerment is centered on the young person taking control of their own learning – a critical shift from the dominant model in which education is done to the student. Clear, compelling, evidence-based, and practical, this is an important book.
