The Take-Action Guide to World Class Learners Book 3
How to Create a Campus Without Borders



March 2016 | 184 pages | Corwin

Your blueprint for nurturing globally connected students
 
The World Class Learners series provides the most complete information available on designing twenty-first century schools poised to leapfrog into the future! These practice-oriented books expand on Dr. Yong Zhao’s acclaimed World Class Learners, which presents a new framework for cultivating creative and entrepreneurial students. Now, with this third book in the follow-up three-volume set, Zhao reveals how to help students learn and prepare for a globalized world. 

The third book in the series outlines how to:

  • Transform students into strong, responsible global citizens
  • Leverage experts, networks, and partner school relationships 
  • Implement a “glocalized” Global Campus or classroom

Implement Zhao’s new paradigm shift one phase at a time, starting with any book. Better yet, read all three volumes for a complete blueprint to entrepreneur-minded schooling. 

“The ideal school should provide opportunities and resources to enable students to personalize their educational experiences instead of receiving a uniform standardized, externally prescribed, education diet.”
--Yong Zhao
