Reinventing Education: Beyond the Knowledge Economy
co-written by Dr Alan Watkins and Dr Matt Silver
The need for change in the education system is obvious and overwhelming. But competing priorities, political inertia and diminishing budgets maintain the dysfunctional status quo, meaning that the education system is a complex, multi-dimensional problem with multiple causes and multiple solutions.
Reinventing Education: The Knowledge Economy co-written by Dr Alan Watkins and Dr Matt Silver examines the underlying causes behind the key challenges facing schools, and provides a framework in designing, constructing and implementing school systems to transform education using a developmental approach.
