UNCHARTED TERRITORIES: ADVENTURES IN LEARNING

Hywel Roberts and Debra Kidd s ‘Uncharted Territories: Adventures in learning’ is a book of prompts, provocations, and possibilities designed to nourish creativity and generate ideas that will get teachers and pupils excited about learning. In this time of high-stakes testing, growing mental health issues among young people, and increasing pressure on teachers to focus on rote repetition and practice papers, we have to step back and ask: What is the purpose of education? If you think it is to get children through tests, then this book is probably not for you. If, however, you think it is to develop wisdom in children the capacity to think, to apply knowledge, to empathize, to weigh up evidence, to consider consequences, and to make informed choices then this book is most definitely for you.
