The Joyful Sandbox: How a group of courageous Australian public school educators unleashed their learners' creative potential and ignited a movement to reimagine education
The Movement Begins.
The time to reimagine schooling is upon us. Educators in Queensland are courageously experimenting with a new learning framework, inspired by the Agile mindset and practices embraced by technology companies to learn faster and stay competitive in hyper-dynamic global markets.
Designed inGenuity was pioneered by a school in the rural US community of Dayton, Oregon. The experience was transformational. Students were empowered to become the makers and creators of tomorrow.
Our education systems were conceived to supply workers for an industrial economy, but that paradigm is now in our rear-view mirror. We are hurtling toward a new economy and a new era that requires collective creative problem-solving for the increasingly complex challenges our world faces.
This book weaves together separate stories from three important perspectives that illuminate how we might bring learning alive in our schools. When learning is connected to personal purpose and individual interests, it’s deeply felt and can unleash creative potential.
For everyone, everywhere – to help ignite a global movement humanity urgently needs now.
