To Create the World That Ought to Be explores enticing possibilities and proven solutions for transforming our society and ourselves, as viewed through the lens of the life and work of a celebrated visionary educator. The book gathers insight distilled from the author's 50-year career making change and empowering other changemakers through his work as a teacher, principal, and administrator of "alternative" public schools, and as a creative community organizer and provocative university professor in the US and around the world.
This "hero's journey" story manages to find realistic, road-tested reasons for hope, even while conducting a clear-eyed and penetrating investigation of the most daunting challenges of our times. One of the most precious and timely lessons we learn from this great teacher is that if we want our children to be the best human beings they can be, we need to create learning environments designed to foster that humanity - and, in that noble endeavor, our greatest resource is our own compassionate humanity. Arnie's story will appeal to anyone interested to explore the dynamics of change - both in individuals and in society.
