Opis

When Nikhil Goyal was in high school, he wrote this book, One Size Does Not Fit All. It offers a groundbreaking prescription for transforming American schools. Drawing from hundreds of interviews with renowned thinkers like Howard Gardner, Seth Godin, Dan Pink, Noam Chomsky, Diane Ravitch, and Frank Bruni, he calls to radically redefine the way the country does schooling. From implementing an anti-disciplinary curriculum to reinventing the teaching profession, his propositions are timely and provocative. Goyal walks us through the tenets of the system, shattering claims dispersed in the education conversation. Goyal presses questions like, What if we tailored education to every single child?; What if students' voices were heard and students were seen as human beings, not numbers in a spreadsheet?; and What if school became an incubator of innovation and a bridge between the community and the world?
