Tony Wagner is one of the world's most respected and distinguished Educational thinkers. Where the names of John Dewey, John Holt, Piaget, Wigginton and others have been on the lips of prospective teachers and educators in the past, today, and in future years Tony Wagner’s name will be joined with them. Why? Because Tony Wagner, for more than 20 years has been urging and cajoling political, economic and educational leaders, as well as citizens, to recognize that rethinking education in this age of innovations is urgently needed. Not simply reform of the outdated “seat-time” model we have employed for generations but a recognition that the world has changed and our system for educating citizens and entrepreneurs must reflect the new world in which we live.
