The world is changing and education needs to change too. But the question shouldn’t be about what does AI change, it should be what doesn’t it change.
The answer is, it doesn’t change what should be the central purpose of education, that of inspiring young people to develop virtues that they then embody to go make a better world. The argument of this book is that the history of education is defined by a pursuit of character development and growth, and that it is only recently we have lost focus on this.
The second argument is that it is inevitable and logical that as technology existentially creeps into every area of our lives, it is the pursuit of human flourishing that lies at the heart of character education that will give individuals, education and society meaning. Our only solution for this uncertain future is to build better humans.
The second half of the book looks to present the SEEK model for character development and guide schools, via the 10 Cs for character implementation, in the journey to pivot towards placing character education at their core.
