From a prominent educator, author, and founder of Harvard’s Change Leadership Group comes a provocative look at why innovation is today’s most essential real-world skill and what young people need from parents, teachers, and employers to become the innovators of America’s future.In this groundbreaking book, education expert Tony Wagner provides a powerful rationale for developing an innovation-driven economy. He explores what parents, teachers, and employers must do to develop the capacities of young people to become innovators. In profiling compelling young American innovators such as Kirk Phelps, product manager for Apple’s first iPhone, and Jodie Wu, who founded a company that builds bicycle-powered maize shellers in Tanzania, Wagner reveals how the adults in their lives nurtured their creativity and sparked their imaginations, while teaching them to learn from failures and persevere. Wagner identifies a pattern—a childhood of creative play leads to deep-seated interests, which in adolescence and adulthood blossom into a deeper purpose for career and life goals. Play, passion, and purpose: These are the forces that drive young innovators.      Wagner shows how we can apply this knowledge as educators and what parents can do to compensate for poor schooling. He takes readers into the most forward-thinking schools, colleges, and workplaces in the country, where teachers and employers are developing cultures of innovation based on collaboration, interdisciplinary problem-solving, and intrinsic motivation. The result is a timely, provocative, and inspiring manifesto that will change how we look at our schools and workplaces, and provide us with a road map for creating the change makers of tomorrow.      Creating Innovators will feature its own innovative elements: more than sixty original videos that expand on key ideas in the book through interviews with young innovators, teachers, writers, CEOs, and entrepreneurs, including Thomas Friedman, Dean Kamen, and Annmarie Neal. Produced by filmmaker Robert A. Compton, the videos are accessible via links and QR codes placed throughout the eBook text.

In general, I enjoy books about the cutting edge in education and Professor Wagner’s book is no different. He takes us around the country to various schools that are doing some very interesting things in the classroom and introduces us to some great students. From the point of view of an educator and parent, it is wonderful to know what is going on out there. As is usual with these kinds of books, however, I am not as convinced as Wagner that every child will benefit by a change to his system of schools.Wagner is convinced that knowledge is less important to the modern student than the ability to innovate and he deplores the fact that so few children are given an environment to grow as innovators. Certainly, the ability to innovate is important and students who have that strength should be given the opportunity to grow it. On the other hand, I don’t see convincing evidence that every child would shine in the environments Wagner describes any more than every child shines in the schools we have now. Unfortunately, most of us are not able to envision a school system that actually encompasses everyone’s strengths, no matter what they happen to be and, until that kind of vision takes hold of our culture (and our universities), it is very difficult to make effective changes.In some sense, this book models the pointlessness of innovation for innovation’s sake. I took the time to download the app and watched all the videos that were interweaved into the text. These videos (most of which were less than 2 minutes and consisted of interviews with the people in the book) are mainly repetitive of what was already said in the text and added little to the argument, unless you are the type of person who needs to have a face connected to a quote. Perhaps this video addition counts as innovative, but I found it to be irritating rather than enlightening.In the end, however, Wagner has a number of good things to say and presents ideas that need to be addressed. He may not have the answer to everything in education, but he asks good questions and the people and schools he examines may be part of the larger answer to making our educational system work in the twenty-first century.
