This thought-provoking book by Sean Slade serves as a poignant reminder that education, while intended to equip students for their future, has become entrenched in the past. Slade challenges us to shift our perspective from education as a mere content-delivery system to its overarching purpose(s). He proposes that we embark on a journey to explore the \"Why\" and \"Who\" behind education, rather than starting with the \"What\" and \"How.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo illustrate this shift, Slade employs the metaphor of an educational solar system, emphasizing how the fundamental questions we ask ourselves shape our actions and subsequent inquiries. He outlines how this approach differs from prevalent trends like Project-Based Learning (PBL) and service learning, highlighting its potential applications in various content areas, the relevance and meaningfulness it can bring to learning, and its potential to foster tolerance and community.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThroughout the book, Slade encourages us not to merely contemplate these topics but to take the first step towards tangible action. Whether you are a teacher or a leader, this book will inspire you to reevaluate the essence of school and your role in shaping it. By doing so, we can collectively contribute to improving ourselves, our systems, and our world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 238g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 156 x 227 x 15 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032117416\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SeanSlade","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44104873902330,"sku":"9781032117416","price":26.64,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1648207419876_book.jpg?v=1648323191","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/questioning-education-moving-from-what-and-how-to-why-and-who-9781032117416","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
