Описание книги

If you can change education, you can change the world Edupreneur gives teachers the "how." You already know what needs to be done to improve education, but you may lack the support and processes to bring it to life—and that's where this book comes in. You'll walk through the four stages of innovation—dreaming, digging, making and sharing—and learn how to unleash ground-shaking change from the classroom up. Straightforward, highly practical and kick-in-the-pants inspirational, this book is your new companion for making education work. You'll read about passionate teachers who have raised attendance from 40% to 90%; you'll read about principals who took on the worst-performing schools and turned them around; you'll read about leaders who had the courage to take the reins of a school and turn it from good to great—and you'll learn how they did it and how you're entirely capable of the same kind of revolutionary change. This is a book not just for challenging schools, but for all educators who are passionate about providing a great education for every student, every day. Administrators, academics and politicians can debate endlessly about how to "fix our schools," ignoring the fact that their best innovators and catalysts of change are already right there in the classroom. You have plenty of ideas, so here's your license to make them happen. Edupreneur will help teachers in all schools to: Identify ways to improve day-to-day practice Overcome the challenges that hamper progress Create new solutions that sidestep old roadblocks Collaborate with similarly forward-thinking educators Imagine what education could look like if teachers were practically equipped to bring exciting new ideas to the classroom every day. Edupreneur helps you be that kind of teacher you've always wanted to be, with a clear framework for truly bringing on the change.

Отрывок из книги

Michael McQueen understands what it takes to thrive in a rapidly evolving world.

Widely recognised for having his finger on the pulse of business and culture, he has helped some of the world's best-known brands navigate disruption and maintain relevance.

.....

Back in 2011 I embarked on a research project tracking 500 of the world's biggest brands in an attempt to answer this question: What is the difference between the enduring and the endangered?

Sadly, examples of endangered brands abound. Recent years have seen scores of iconic businesses and organisations fall from greatness in spectacular fashion. So endemic is this pattern that McKinsey & Company consultant Patrick Viguerie invented a term for measuring it called the ‘Topple rate'. This metric gauges the rate at which firms lose their leadership positions, and one thing is for certain – it is speeding up. According to Professor Richard Foster of Yale University, the average lifespan of a major listed company has shrunk from 67 years in the 1920s to just 15 years today.1
