In this talk from RSA Animate, Sir Ken Robinson lays out
the link between 3 troubling trends: rising drop-out rates, schools'
dwindling stake in the arts, and ADHD. An important, timely talk for
parents and teachers.
Creativity expert Sir Ken Robinson challenges the way we're
educating our children. He champions a radical rethink of our school
systems, to cultivate creativity and acknowledge multiple types of
intelligence.
A visionary cultural leader, Sir Ken led the British government's 1998 advisory committee on creative and cultural education, a massive inquiry into the significance of creativity in the educational system and the economy, and was knighted in 2003 for his achievements. His latest book, The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything, a deep look at human creativity and education, was published in January 2009.
