| Summary |
"According to recent studies in neuroscience, the way we learn doesn't always match up with the way we are taught. Clayton M. Christensen and coauthors Michael B. Horn and Curtis W. Johnson take one of the most important issues of our time - education - and apply Christensen's now-famous theories of "disruptive" change by using a wide range of real-life examples. Whether you're a school administrator, government official, business leader, parent, teacher, or entrepreneur, you'll discover surprising new ideas, outside-the-box strategies."--BOOK JACKET |
