Expansive Education: Teaching learners for the real world showcases a growing number of schools that are developing methods of teaching and learning that deliberately cultivate powerful learners. Drawing on established theory as well as current research and practice, this essential resource encapsulates the best of these approaches, and demonstrates discernible links to achievement gains and learner engagement.

Expansive Education offers:

• Radical thinking about the purpose of schools, underpinned by latest literature from the learning sciences
• A critical exploration of what works in practice and an analysis of pioneering concepts that support dispositional approaches to learning
• A scaffolding framework that assists teachers in consistently choosing those methods most likely to create expansive learning environments
• A powerful manifesto for individual schools, clusters of schools, districts and national systems to articulate a different vision of education and a means of tracking real progress.
