The basis for a major documentary, two leading experts sound an
urgent call for the radical reimagining of American education so we
can equip students for the realities of the twenty-first-century
economy. We prize academic achievement, pressuring our children to
get into the "right" colleges, have the highest GPAs, and pursue
advanced degrees. But while students may graduate with credentials,
by and large they lack the competencies needed to be thoughtful,
engaged citizens and to get good jobs in our rapidly evolving
economy. Alarmingly, our methods of schooling crush the creativity
and initiative young people really need to thrive in the
twenty-first century. Now bestselling author and education expert
Tony Wagner and venture capitalist Ted Dintersmith call for a
complete overhaul of American schools, sharing insights and stories
from the front lines. Their powerful, urgent message identifies the
growing gap between credentials and competence-and offers a
framework for change. Most Likely to Succeed presents a new vision
of American education, one that puts wonder, creativity, and
initiative at the very heart of the learning process and prepares
students for today's economy.
