Creative Schools: The Grassroots Revolution That's Transforming Education

Si eres conocedor de el contenido de este autor: es parecido a lo que ya se ha escuchado en sus conferencias en TED, mas aun asi vale la pena. Si no conoces a Ken Robinson, buscalo en youtube, sobretodo la conferencias de TED. (how schools kill creativity por ejemplo) Es mas o menos de lo que trata el libro pero de una manera mas explicita, mas detallada. Muy recomendado!

Its a very smart book, I wrote an essay about it. Its easy to read and extremely interesting and entertaining; just like Robinson himself. Love it!

とても良かった。賛成反対は別にして、教育に関わる人に是非読んで欲しいです。

Libro molto ricco di suggerimenti concreti per cambiare il mondo della scuola. Utile anche per chi si occupa di formazione in azienda perché, almeno a me, alcuni metodi didattico-pedagogici non sono così conosciuti. Alcune lungaggini sul sistema scolastico americano ma basta saltarle e non inficiano sulla comprensione dei contenuti successivi

Creative Schools: The Grassroots Revolution That’s Transforming Education by Ken Robinson presents a powerful argument for rethinking how schools approach learning. Robinson challenges the traditional model of education that prioritizes standardized testing, compliance, and narrow definitions of intelligence, and instead calls for a system that values creativity, curiosity, and student voice. One of the biggest takeaways for me is the idea that creativity is not an “extra” in education. It is essential. Robinson argues that schools often unintentionally limit creativity by focusing too heavily on testing and right-answer thinking, which can reduce student engagement and willingness to take risks (Robinson & Aronica, 2015). As a teacher, this really resonated with me because I see how quickly students become more motivated when they are given opportunities to create, collaborate, and make choices in their learning. What stood out most was the emphasis on shifting from a compliance-based system to one that develops independent thinkers and problem solvers. Robinson does not suggest removing structure or standards, but rather reimagining how learning happens so students are more actively involved in the process. Overall, this book reinforced my belief that education should help students discover their strengths, build confidence, and develop the skills needed to thrive in a changing world. It challenged me to think more intentionally about how I design learning experiences that prioritize creativity alongside academic growth. - Macie Mimnaugh
