The Learning Revolution
by Gordon Dryden and Jeannette Vos
New Zealand: The Learning Web, 1999
ISBN# 1929284004
Gordon Dryden, an award winning broadcaster and journalist from New Zealand, and Jeannette Vos, California teacher on all levels and specialist in accelerated learning, met at New Horizons for Learning's international conference in 1991. Jeannette was completing her doctoral dissertation and Gordon was producing a television series based on his travels throughout the world seeking outstanding educational practices. Their partnership has resulted in a book that broke a world record for sales: 7.5 million in 25 weeks! The Learning Revolution is a remarkable synthesis of the world's most successful teaching and learning programs for students of all ages. The format itself accelerates reading by making it possible to get a rapid overview as the reader looks at graphics on left pages before going back to read the entire, detailed text. In addition to identifying numbers of the most successful schools in the United States, the book identifies exemplary models in New Zealand, Finland, Sweden, China, Singapore, England, and Australia many of which are making progress at astounding rates. The authors are catalyzing the learning revolution they describe by making this information available internationally, not only through their book but also on television, video, CD, and their website at www.thelearningweb.net.
