PennsylvaniaRT ONE: From a major problem toward a solution Past, present, and future schools Why education is so difficult and contentious Accumulating cognitive tools PennsylvaniaRT TWO: A Fifty-Year Program of Educational Reform: 2010-2060 2010-2020 2020-2030 2030-2040 2040-2050 2050-2060 Conclusion.
"Kieran Egan explores the three big ideas and aims of education - academic, social, and developmental growth - and exposes their flaws and fundamental incompatibility. He then proposes and describes a process called Imaginative Education that would dramatically change teaching and curriculum while delivering the skills and understanding that we all want our children to acquire. His speculative narrative of education from 2010 to 2060 - executed with wit and verve - shows how we might very well get there from here. Unlike most books dealing with fundamental educational ideas, this one also details how its new proposal can be implemented in everyday classrooms."--Jacket.
