Reviews

[Richard Jones-Nerzic]

This is a timely and insightful exploration of the crucial changes needed in education as AI rapidly transforms our world. The authors make a compelling case for a wider and wiser curriculum, moving beyond traditional subject silos to embrace interdisciplinary themes and core concepts that foster critical thinking, experiential learning, and wisdom.

The book is particularly relevant for educators involved with the International Baccalaureate, which has long championed a holistic approach to education. It provides a practical framework for integrating 21st-century skills and deeper learning into existing curricula, empowering students to navigate the complexities of an AI-driven future. The authors also highlight the need for personalisation, leveraging AI's capabilities to tailor learning experiences to individual student needs.
