Are you ready for a new paradigm in K-12? In a bold call for a K-12 revolution Don Berg makes the claim in The Agentic Schools Manifesto that schools have been making a fundamental error since they began thousands of years ago. The wide-spread, persistent levels of both teacher and student disengagement are a symptom of a cultural disease that infects our society. What is truly basic is agency, not the 3Rs. When children do not yet realize how valuable those skills are, making them read, write, and do math is counter-productive to educating them. The diagnosis and treatment of this disease are based on the science of Self-Determination Theory. This book provides a powerful framework for leaders to move beyond the old, ineffective paradigm. You will discover:Why so many well-intentioned efforts to improve schools fail to create lasting change.How to identify and eliminate common school practices that unintentionally stifle motivation.Actionable strategies to create an environment where students and teachers are not just present, but actively and joyfully engaged.
