NAIS Publications catalog - Schools of the Future - (Page 17) A LOOK AHEAD: Global Education, Sustainability, and Creativity A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future DANIEL PINK List and Member Price $15 Item #B118 Riverhead Trade, 2006 288 pages Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things WILLIAM MCDONOUGH AND MICHAEL BRAUNGART List and Member Price $12 Item #B73 North Point Press, 2002 186 pages The future belongs to a different kind of person with a different kind of mind: artists, inventors, storytellers — creative and holistic “right-brain” thinkers whose abilities mark the fault line between who gets ahead and who doesn’t. Drawing on research from around the world, Pink outlines the six fundamentally human abilities that are absolute essentials for professional success and personal fulfillment — and reveals how to master them. A Whole New Mind takes readers to a daring new place, and introduces a provocative and necessary new way of thinking about a future that’s already here. Few can argue that the old “cradle to grave” manufacturing model creates enormous waste and pollution in our modern world. Architect William McDonough and chemist Michael Braungart challenge that model and offer nature-inspired solutions that give back to the environment. They make an exciting and viable case for putting ecoeffectiveness into practice, and show how anyone involved with making anything can begin to do so as well. Independent schools will be inspired by the lessons in bringing environmental sustainability to their schools. Out of Our Minds: Learning to Be Creative SIR KEN ROBINSON List and Member Price $34.95 Item #B92 Capstone, 2001 232 pages Looking Ahead: Independent School Issues & Answers, Second Edition Edited by PATRICK F. BASSETT AND CRAIG THORN IV List and Member Price $21.95 Item #B34 Avocus Publishing, 2004 492 pages Out of Our Minds argues that education systems everywhere are rooted in a narrow definition of academic intelligence that ignores some of our most important creative abilities. This book looks at the revolutionary changes that are transforming how business works and the urgent need to promote creativity and innovation. It argues for radical changes in corporate cultures. The problems of creativity must also be tackled at the source — in the education system. Out of Our Minds traces the roots of the current preoccupation with academic work and qualifications. It reveals why the future must lie in developing, not stifling, our natural creative abilities. The second edition of Looking Ahead offers more than 60 essays on six topics that leading educators in independent schools feel represent the vital areas of interest and concern: finance, faculty, communications, curriculum, culture and community, and technology. It is an invitation to educators to collaborate on issues that continue to challenge the community. NAIS President Patrick F. Bassett and co-editor Craig Thorn of Phillips Academy Andover (MA) collected the essays to serve as a workbook for teachers, administrators, parent committees, members, trustees, and donors, to help them see their everyday challenges in the larger framework of the independent school movement. 17 http://transact.nais.org/Purchase/ProductDetail.aspx?Product_code=B118 http://transact.nais.org/Purchase/ProductDetail.aspx?Product_code=B73 http://transact.nais.org/Purchase/ProductDetail.aspx?Product_code=B34 http://transact.nais.org/Purchase/ProductDetail.aspx?Product_code=B92
