ABSTRACT

This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book dives into a framework for not only dealing with change in the world, but empowering students, teachers, and staff to thrive in this environment. At the core of the book is a focus on what has always impacted teaching, learning, making, and creating: our relationships. Steve Jobs is a great example of not only the many faces of leadership, but also the many ways in which innovation is misunderstood by the institutions. In thinking about how people can reform education to learn better and how they can educate better (or differently), the book shows a lot of people attacking the questions from their own experiences, what companies are doing to be innovative, and what technologies have disrupted other fields and sectors.
