Me gusto este libro porque a pesar de ser "académico", no es aburrido, tedioso ni está lleno de palabras rimbombantes y sin sentido. Como dice Ken Robinson, es un libro para toda persona que busque o quiera generar un cambio en el modelo educativo, desde dondequiera que se encuentre en el sistema. Habla de escuelas, alumnos, profesores, padres, directores y políticos, quienes influyen en el sistema educativo y cada quien le da forma a su modo y como puede.
Para quienes hayan visto su Ted Talk (quienes no, pueden verla aquí: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z78aaeJR8no) sabrán muy bien de qué va el libro, yo comulgo con muchas de sus ideas y tuve que leer el libro con una libreta en la mano, para anotar todos los conceptos que me gustaron o las ideas que se me ocurrían al leerlo.
Estos son algunos de los puntos que más me gustaron:
- "Mantener viva la sed de aprendizaje es la clave para cambiar la educación"
- "Los viejos sistemas educativos no se crearon con este mundo en mente"
- "El desafío inmediato es fomentar modelos educativos que animen a los jóvenes a implicarse en cuestiones económicas mundiales relacionadas con sostenibilidad y bienestar"
- "La base de la educación es la relación entre profesor y alumno"
- "Crear las condiciones para que los alumnos quieran y puedan aprender"
- "El exilio del juego es una de las grandes tragedias de la educación normalizada"
- "La compasión debe practicarse, no predicarse"
- "El motor de la creatividad es el afán de descubrimiento y la pasión"
- "Ya no ganamos por lo que sabemos, ganamos por lo que podemos hacer con lo que sabemos"
- "Hay que generar el contexto y el espacio que la comunidad necesita para no sentirse amenazada por nuevas ideas"
- "Que las ideas promuevan revoluciones o no, dependerá de las circunstancias".
Definitivamente es un libro que recomiendo para cualquiera que esté involucrado o interesado en temas relacionados con la educación, el aprendizaje y el conocimiento.

2.5 stars…this book is full of good ideas and anecdotes about inspiring schools. But it’s just that - vague calls to action and anecdotes. Maybe I am not the target audience? I am a teacher and I wonder if the target audience might be school administrators or politicians, with the intention of encouraging them to throw their support behind alternative schools and schools trying new things. As a teacher, most of the anecdotes in this book deal with very alternative schools, which is interesting, but I would have loved to hear more about how these ideas could be implemented within a more typical school. In both types of schools he described (the alternative schools and the few examples of typical public schools), he gave little to no information about HOW these changes were made. There was lots of info about how the ideas were developed, and then about how it worked out, but not a lot about what that transition looked like.
I feel bad giving this book such a low rating because I do think it’s a very important subject and Ken Robinson is a significant voice in pushing for school reform but this…just felt repetitive and lacking depth.

The first two-thirds were awesome. He is clearly very experienced in the edu world and writes clearly. I underlined a ton.
The final part was a bit contradictory to me. Most of the book is praise for individualized learning and how the system is difficult to innovate inside, and how it was built for a completely different context of society that is no longer relevant, and yet he spends several pages on lackluster federal policy for the system.
A great quote:
“No amount of debate on strategy will result in consensus if the purposes we have in mind are opposed.”

This was a required read for a college course but I enjoyed the book. Robinson has some nontraditional ideas about education and the ways it needs to be improved. Most of the book is focused on creativity for students, staff, and the system as a whole, as the title suggests. There are some passages that felt a little too drawn out for me and could have been shorter, in my opinion. I liked the reference section at the end that explained where his information was coming from, as I was able to get new titles for my "to read" list. Overall, I would recommend this book for a passionate teacher or aspiring school leader.

As many of you know, I am in the process of becoming a teacher. I have been reading books that can help me become the best educator I can be. I really enjoyed Sir Ken Robinson's Tedtalks. Reading his books seemed like a good next step.In this book, Creative Schools Robinson explains how there is hope for education reform by not relying so much on high stakes testing and implementing hands-on and creative learning.
📖📖📖📖
Ken Robinson is one of the world’s most influential voices in education, and his 2006 TED Talk on the subject is the most viewed in the organization’s history. Now, the internationally recognized leader on creativity and human potential focuses on one of the most critical issues of our time: how to transform the nation’s troubled educational system. At a time when standardized testing businesses are raking in huge profits, when many schools are struggling, and students and educators everywhere are suffering under the strain, Robinson points the way forward. He argues for an end to our outmoded industrial educational system and proposes a highly personalized, organic approach that draws on today’s unprecedented technological and professional resources to engage all students, develop their love of learning, and enable them to face the real challenges of the twenty-first century. Filled with anecdotes, observations and recommendations from professionals on the front line of transformative education, case histories, and groundbreaking research—and written with Robinson’s trademark wit and engaging style—Creative Schools will inspire teachers, parents, and policy makers alike to rethink the real nature and purpose of education.
