Full Description
Your blueprint for product-oriented learning
The World Class Learners series provides the most complete information available on designing twenty-first century schools poised to leapfrog into the future! These practice-oriented books expand on Dr. Yong Zhao's acclaimed World Class Learners, which presents a new framework for cultivating creative and entrepreneurial students. Now, with this second book in the follow-up three-volume set, Zhao digs much deeper, revealing how exactly to put that framework into effect.
The second book in the series outlines how to
Understand entrepreneurship and project-oriented learning
Implement "making-as-learning" POL curriculum
Help students create quality entrepreneurial products
Understand ownership, copyrights, and patents
Implement Zhao's new paradigm shift one phase at a time, starting with any book, depending upon your priorities. Better yet, read all three volumes for a complete blueprint to entrepreneur-minded schooling.
"The ideal school should provide opportunities and resources to enable students to personalize their educational experiences instead of receiving a uniform standardized, externally prescribed, education diet."
-Yong Zhao
