Editorial Review
There is a wide recognition around the world that the traditional models of schooling are no longer fit for purpose. Teaching is an extraordinary profession, a vocation and, above all, a great privilege. However, teachers cannot educate children by themselves. It is not teachers or parents who are the shapers of the future; it is our children. In this book we learn how we can prepare our children for their future. Together, as parents and educators, we must build a system that will illuminate their world. We must ensure a system that develops in them the skills and experiences to feel confident in their tomorrow. It is up to us not to fear, but to prepare them to lead us into the unknown.
