Questioning the unquestionable, this book will make you re-consider everything you thought you knew about teaching and learning, such as: What’s the real point of school?; Exams – so whose bright idea was that?;  Why ‘EQ’ is fast becoming the new ‘IQ’What will your school policy be on brain-enhancing technologies?

With his customary combination of hard-hitting truths, practical classroom ideas and irreverent sense of humour, Ian Gilbert takes the reader on a breathless rollercoaster ride through burning issues of the twenty-first century. This book is designed to challenge teachers and inform them – as well as encourage them – as they strive to design a 21st  century learning experience that really does bring the best out of all young people. After all, the future of the world may just depend on it. You can take a look inside the book, if you please, by following this link!...
