Description
A profound exploration of learning, language and literacy in today's complex world. James Paul Gee argues that children need to be resilient, imaginative, hopeful and deliberate learners to thrive in a society marked by conflict and uncertainty. Gee proposes a new framework for education, one that draws on insights from multiple disciplines to prepare students for a more peaceful and equitable world. This book offers a fresh perspective on literacy, learning and human development, drawing on recent breakthroughs in research on the brain, body and society. By reconceptualizing education and literacy, Gee aims to empower students to become collaborators towards positive change.
