About this audiobook
We are in a period of unknowns unlike any in a generation or more. As educators, we need new pathways and ideas that can help us educate children for the world to come. Reimagining the Classroom: Creating New Learning Spaces and Connecting with the World provides practical steps and examples that parents and educators can use to begin to create new learning spaces, approaches, and outcomes. Dr. Richards's provocative book asks us to reconsider some of our basic assumptions about teaching and learning. Reimagining the Classroom is divided into two parts. The first identifies specific problems with current approaches, offers an alternative vision and set of narratives, and then offers a new pedagogy to satisfy this vision. The second part of the book moves from the theoretical to the practical. - Discover practical tools for creating educational spaces that prepare students for the world - Help students express their values and learn to live in community - Replace or supplement school with at-home learning and activities - Learn how the traditional approach to education is failing our kids This book explains what, fundamentally, education can and should look like.
