This important contribution to the future of education, by bestselling author and renowned cognitive scientist Allan Collins, proposes a school curriculum that will fit the needs of our modern era. Offering guidelines for deciding what is important to learn in order to become a knowledgeable person, a good citizen, a thoughtful worker, and a valuable friend in the 21st century, Collins considers the qualities needed for a healthy and productive life. Taking a close look at how advances in technology, communication, and the dissemination of information are reshaping the world, this volume examines how schools can foster flexible, self-directed learners who will succeed in the modern workplace. A concluding chapter presents a broad new vision for how schools can be redesigned to teach the kinds of knowledge and skills students will need in an increasingly complex society and global world.

Book Features:

  • Identifies global trends and their implications for what we should be teaching our children.
  • Explains how schools are teaching an outdated curriculum.
  • Proposes a radical revision of the math and science curriculum.
  • Describes how literacy is changing in the digital age.

Allan Collins, professor emeritus of learning sciences at Northwestern University, has studied teaching and learning for over 30 years and has written extensively on related topics. He is the coauthor with Richard Halverson of Rethinking Education in the Age of Technology: The Digital Revolution and Schooling in America.
