Description: From Ancient Greece to the present day Trivium 21c explores whether a contemporary trivium (Grammar Dialectic and Rhetoric) can unite progressive and traditionalist institutions teachers politicians and parents in the common pursuit of providing a great education for our children in 21st Century. Education policy and practice is a battleground. Traditionalists argue for the teaching of a privileged type of hard knowledge and deride soft skills. Progressives deride learning about great works of the past preferring `21c skills (21st Century Skills) such as creativity and critical thinking. Whilst looking for a school for his daughter the author became frustrated by schools inability to value knowledge as well as creativity foster discipline alongside free - thinking and value citizenship alongside independent learning. Drawing from his work as a creative teacher Robinson finds inspiration in the Arts and the need to nurture learners with the ability to deal with the uncertainties of our age. Named one of Book Authority's best education books of all time.
