Recommendation

Humanity needs innovative thinkers with fresh perspectives to solve complex problems. Yet the US education system is failing children who exhibit these types of minds, says “edupreneur” and former elementary school teacher Ana Lorena Fábrega. Whether you’re a teacher or a student, young or old, Fábrega’s powerful treatise on the failure of institutional education will help you approach the “learning game” more effectively. Under Fábrega’s tutelage, learn to harness approaches such as gamification and experimentation, and start updating your mental models about learning today.

Take-Aways

  • The world needs innovators and problem solvers, yet schools penalize free thinkers.
  • Educators often inadvertently hinder children’s learning, creativity, and development.
  • Spark a love of learning by eliminating standardized tests and unlocking students’ “intrinsic motivation” to learn.
