Klappentext zu „Creative Schools “
A revolutionary reappraisal of how to educate our children and young people by Ken Robinson, the New York Times bestselling author of The Element and Finding Your Element. You, Your Child, and School is forthcoming from Viking.Ken Robinson is one of the world's most influential voices in education, and his 2006 TED Talk on the subject is the most viewed in the organization's history. Now, the internationally recognized leader on creativity and human potential focuses on one of the most critical issues of our time: how to transform the nation's troubled educational system. At a time when standardized testing businesses are raking in huge profits, when many schools are struggling, and students and educators everywhere are suffering under the strain, Robinson points the way forward. He argues for an end to our outmoded industrial educational system and proposes a highly personalized, organic approach that draws on today's unprecedented technological and professional resources to engage all students, develop their love of learning, and enable them to face the real challenges of the twenty-first century. Filled with anecdotes, observations and recommendations from professionals on the front line of transformative education, case histories, and groundbreaking research-and written with Robinson's trademark wit and engaging style-Creative Schools will inspire teachers, parents, and policy makers alike to rethink the real nature and purpose of education.

Introduction
One Minute to Midnight
ARE YOU CONCERNED about education? I am. One of my deepest concerns is that while education systems around the world are being reformed, many of these reforms are being driven by political and commercial interests that misunderstand how real people learn and how great schools actually work. As a result, they are damaging the prospects of countless young people. Sooner or later, for better or for worse, they will affect you or someone you know. It s important to understand what these reforms are about. If you agree that they re going in the wrong direction, I hope you will become part of the movement to a more holistic approach that nurtures the diverse talents of all our children.
In this book, I want to set out how the standards culture is harming students and schools and to present a different way of thinking about education. I want to show too that whoever and wherever you are, you do have the power to make the system change. Changes are happening. All around the world, there are many great schools, wonderful teachers, and inspiring leaders who are working creatively to provide students with the kinds of personalized, compassionate, and community-oriented education they need. There are entire school districts and even national systems that are moving in the same direction. People at all levels of these systems are pressing for the changes I m arguing for here.
In 2006, I gave a talk at the TED conference in California called Do Schools Kill Creativity? The essence of that talk was that we re all born with immense natural talents, but by the time we ve been through education far too many of us have lost touch with them. As I put it then, many highly talented, brilliant people think they re not because the thing they were good at in school wasn t valued or was actually stigmatized. The consequences are disastrous for individuals and for the health of our communities.

has proven to be the most watched talk in the history of TED. It has been viewed online more than thirty million times and has been seen by an estimated three hundred million people worldwide. I know that s not as many views as Miley Cyrus gets. But I don t twerk.
Since that talk was posted online, I ve heard from students all around the world who say they ve shown it to their teachers or parents, from parents who say they ve shown it to their children, from teachers who ve shown it to their principals, and from superintendents who ve shown it to everybody. I take this as evidence that I m not alone in thinking this way. And these are not recent concerns either.
I was speaking last year at a U.S. college in the Midwest. Over lunch, one of the faculty said to me, You ve been at this a long time now, haven t you? I said, At what? He said, Trying to change education. How long is it now? Eight years? I said, What do you mean, eight years? He said, You know, since that TED talk. I said, Yes, but I was alive before that. . . .
I ve now worked in education for more than forty years as a teacher, researcher, trainer, examiner, and adviser. I ve worked with all sorts of people, institutions, and systems in education and with businesses, governments, and cultural organizations. I ve directed practical initiatives with schools, districts, and governments; taught in universities; and helped to set up new institutions. In all of this, I ve been pushing for more balanced and individualized and creative approaches to education.
In the last ten years especially, I hear people everywhere saying how exasperated they are by the deadening effects of testing and standardization on them, their children, or their friends. Often they feel
