Back Cover: Reliably producing deeper learning is the key to successful K-12 schooling. We will know that deeper learning is being sustainably fueled when joy is as normal for high schoolers as it is for kindergartners and first graders. The absence of joy means that students and teachers are disengaging. Disengaged students or teachers defeat the purpose of school in the same way that running out of gas defeats the purpose of a car. Cars have fuel gauges to enable drivers to more reliably fulfill their purposes. Psychologists can gauge the fuel for deeper learning. Managing psychological gas tanks is as simple as supporting the joys of teaching and learning.
More Joy, More Genius provides tools for better psychological fuel management. The book includes:
-
A policy resolution to help you organize a deeper learning reform campaign
-
Back to Basics 2.0: Rethinking what’s basic in K-12
-
The psychological foundations of deeper learning explained
-
Design criteria for making deeper learning a sustainable organizational habit
