One that's fun, and inspiring and that teaches us HOW to think, not WHAT to think? Rachel Musson had given her life to asking this question and ThoughtBox is her answer. \nSuppose we all learned three things at school: empathy, critical thinking and systems thinking... imagine how different the world would be. Suppose we learned how to think clearly, how to communicate, how to understand our own feelings and express them without feeling the need to trash other people just because we were hurt, or angry. \nRachel Musson, founder and educational director of ThoughtBox, a radical, new co-learning programme speaks of her journey to create the system, and how it's working - in over a thousand schools and fifty four nations across the world.   Rachel believes in co-learning: no more lesson plans, but a classroom of peers who take the core of a topic and build on it together.  The result is a flexible learning environment where everyone thrives, where each individual is given space and encouragement to grow to be the best of themselves. \nImagine a world where this is possible. Where it is happening. Where it is growing... \nAbout Rachel \n\nRachel Musson is a teacher, trainer, writer and thought-leader on\nsustainable education and wellbeing in schools.\nWorking for 13 years as a Secondary English teacher, Rachel has taught\nstudents and trained teachers in schools across the world including the UK,\nIreland, Australia, Nepal and Tanzania.
