"In Search of Deeper Learning: The Quest to Remake the American High School" by Jal Mehta and Sarah Fine (2019) (http://bit.ly/3oQegvu)

"Students now live in a world plagued by complex global problems, including climate change, massive economic inequality, ideological warfare, and a technological revolution marked by a chaotic proliferation of sources of opinion, fact, myth, paranoia, and disinformation. The generation of students coming of age today will be asked to navigate, survive, and, if they can, help to heal the world they have inherited. Schools will need to do their part to develop skilled, creative, educated, informed, and empathetic citizens and leaders — the kind of people that our economy, society, and democracy demand" (pp. 12-13).
