Synopsis
Ready to reimagine education? This student-led blueprint transforms learning for educators, parents, and policymakers worldwide.
In this groundbreaking work from Harvard Education Press, renowned media executive Howard Blumenthal (Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?) and leading education researcher Robert C. Pianta challenge everything we think we know about schooling. Drawing from interviews with students across more than seventy countries, along with parents, teachers, and learning experts, Kids on Earth presents a revolutionary "New School" framework that moves beyond traditional educational reform to complete reinvention.
This isn't another critique of what's wrong with education―it's a student-led blueprint designed for our hyperconnected, globally-minded world where young people demand active, personalized, and relationship-centered learning experiences. The book reveals how integrating formal schooling with "Not School" learning can create scalable solutions for the projected 5 billion minds that will be learning by mid-century.
Readers will discover:
Global student perspectives: Real voices from 70+ countries reveal what young learners actually want and need from education
The "New School" framework: Three research-backed pillars―active learning, personalized instruction, and relational teaching―that align with cognitive science and contemporary lived experience
Integration of "Not School" learning: Practical strategies for incorporating media, technology, and external instruction into formal education
Actionable implementation strategies: Concrete tools for educators and policymakers to transform learning environments and practices
Expert author collaboration: Research-backed insights that combine Blumenthal's media innovation expertise with Pianta's internationally recognized work on teacher-student relationships
Ready to join the educational revolution? Kids on Earth gives you the student-centered roadmap to prepare the next generation for true global citizenship―because it's time to let kids make it alright.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In this visionary effort, students take the lead in reimagining public education for the twenty-first century, advocating for a more active, personalized, and relational approach to learningTwenty-first century youth are hungry for new ways to learn. Their world is global, mobile, and rich with opportunities previous generations couldn't possibly have imagined. As they make clear in this book, the old standards of schooling no longer apply. In Kids on Earth, Howard Blumenthal and Robert C. Pianta go straight to the source to rethink public education for the five billion young minds likely to learn by 2050, asking students about learning for their future.Blumenthal and Pianta interview children and teenagers from more than seventy countries, along with parents, teachers, and learning experts, to build, from their perspectives, a scalable global framework for radical educational change. 'New School', in contrast to old school, is a foundational concept with three guiding pillars: learning is active, learning is personal, and learning is relational. Its teachings emphasize cognitive science, memory, and relationships- aligning learning with contemporary lived experience. New School also appreciates 'Not School', external instruction that involves media, technology, and other forms of learning. Integrating these spheres, Blumenthal and Pianta argue, would better reflect our hyperconnected, innovative world, motivating students to succeed within it.Kids on Earth calls not for reform but reinvention, an ambitious, all-hands-on-deck effort to remake school for current and future generations, preparing them best for global citizenship. Unlike many books on education, this volume gives kids the chance to make it alright. Boldly reimagining public education in a global era, youth lead a movement to transform learning. Drawing on insights from students, families, and experts in over 70 countries, the work proposes a model where active, personalized, and relational approaches blend with technology and media to empower future global citizens.
