Nuevas formas de pensar la enseñanza y el aprendizaje
Muchos son los recursos, medios y sistemas que debemos emplear para mejorar la educación, pero entre ellos, y éste es el argumento central del presente libro, el más importante es sin duda cambiar las mentes de quienes enseñan y de quienes aprenden. Necesitamos nuevas concepciones, nuevas formas de vivir el aprendizaje y la enseñanza tanto por parte de profesores como de alumnos, porque sólo así podremos lograr que en nuestras aulas la enseñanza conduzca al aprendizaje. Diversas voces se aúnan en una misma propuesta teórica, al tiempo renovadora y sencilla, según la cual la única forma de cambiar la educación es cambiar a las personas que la hacen posible. Nada cambiará si eso no cambia.

The Genius of America
Due to a combination of heightened frustration, moves to skirt the constitutional process, and a widespread disconnect between the people and their constitutional "conscience," Lane and Oreskes warn us our longstanding Democracy is at risk. Together, they examine the Constitution's history relative to this current crisis, from its framing to its centuries-long success, including during some of the country's most turbulent and contentious times, and challenge us to let this great document work as it was designed-valuing political process over product. They hold our leaders accountable, calling on them to stop fanning the flames of division and to respect their institutional roles. In the final assessment, The Genius of America asks us to lean on the framers and their experience to secure our country's wellbeing.
