Working away from trends in government policy, this book takes a future-oriented re-imagining of schools with a focus on four innate human capacities: collaboration, critical reflection, communication and creativity. Miranda Jefferson and Michael Anderson draw together examples of practice from around the world to provide a reimagining of education. They show how our schools can be sustainably transformed to be places of support, challenge and joy in learning, responsive to students’ needs and the needs in our workplaces and wider society. Readers are empowered to use knowledge and experience to create the reality they would like to see in their school, building engaged, innovative and active learning, pedagogy curriculum and leadership. Key ideas are summarised at the end of each chapter along with an extensive referencing and bibliography, and a supporting glossary.

Perhaps now more than ever, we need to re-imagine what’s possible for education. Making changes to education is, of course, no easy task. However, as Miranda Jefferson and Michael Anderson explain in this book, real change can start from the ground up. Meaningful changes require us to be willing to move our thinking and action beyond what education currently is to what it could and should be. Transforming Education offers both a vision and concrete direction for moving the shared project of education in new and more promising directions.
