Education Nation: Six Leading Edges of Innovation in our Schools (Jossey-Bass) by Dr. Milton Chen, senior fellow and executive director emeritus at the George Lucas Educational Foundation. In it, he poses this challenge: “Imagine an Education Nation, a learning society where the education of children and adults is the highest national priority, on par with a strong economy, high employment, and national security.”
In Education Nation, Dr. Chen has curated and organized the Edutopia.org collection of films and articles according to what he sees as the six “edges” of innovations redefining K-12 schools, teaching, and learning. They are:The Thinking Edge
- The Edge of Curriculum
- The Technology Edge
- The Edge of Time and Place
- The Co-Teaching Edge
- The Youth Edge
Education Nation is the book for information about the most innovative learning environments, addressing Edutopia’s core strategies of project-based learning, cooperative learning, technology integration, social and emotional learning, comprehensive assessment, and teacher development for implementing these practices.
Education Nation embraces a new age of 24/7 learning, with students at the center, supported by teachers, parents and community members.
