The authors discuss radical changes that focus on recent ideas about educational transformation, such as personalization, student-driven curriculum, student agency and co-ownership of learning direction, school-sheltered student entrepreneurship, student-led civic projects, creativity education, and product-oriented learning. Research and case studies demonstrate that students learn empathy, cooperation, creativity, and self-management, alongside rigorous academics. The content provides insight into the process of innovation and the elements that can make change successful.
