How can we unlock every child’s potential? What would it take for every student to learn successfully at school and be well prepared for their future? How does schooling itself leave some students behind?
Internationally recognised education adviser Geoff Masters AO challenges what most of us take for granted about learning at school and lifts the lid on vast differences in students’ performances and needs within each grade. Readers are invited to consider an alternative way of organising learning – one that is focused on meeting individual learners where they are and that is built on an understanding of learning as long-term growth. Masters makes a case for reforming school learning systems to better target individuals’ differing needs, to give all students the time they require to learn, and to build every student’s confidence in their capacity for success.
A must read for teachers, parents and anybody interested in how schooling needs to change.
Geoff Masters was head of the Australian Council for Educational Research from 1998 to 2024, was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia for his contributions to Education, and led a 2023 study of high-performing school systems for the US National Center on Education and the Economy.
