Description: "This book encourages teachers, parents, grandparents, and volunteers who work with children to expect more. It focuses on the skills children will need to compete in a highly competitive global economy. From systems thinking, to interpreting complex visual images, to integrative thinking our children need a whole new skill set. ... [T]he author provides many concrete examples of ways for teachers and parents to engage children in meaningful conversation and problem solving"--Page 4 of cover
