About this audiobook
A timely guide to encouraging young people to find meaning, discover their true potential, and lead purposeful lives in the age of AI
From the cofounders of B-Unbound, a Big Picture Learning initiative that empowers young people through community engagement and real-world learning
Educators and parents are often the first to see (and feel) the impacts of rapid innovation on young people. And with recent developments in AI and social media, the youth mental health crisis has only intensified. In this critical moment, The Education Pivot offers a paradigm-shifting framework that encourages us to help our youth—and ourselves—find meaning and purpose.
Grounded in the seminal work of psychiatrist and Man’s Search for Meaning author Viktor Frankl, this human-centered approach emphasizes 2 essential needs that schools often overlook: meaning, the motivational force that calls us to contribute to the world, and mattering, the deep knowing that who we are and what we do makes a difference. This book shows how communities can design learning opportunities around relationships, real-world experiences, personal agency, and authentic assessment.

Elliot Washor cofounded Big Picture Learning and its flagship school, the Met Center, with Dennis Littky to show how the search for meaning and the power of mattering in public schools can transform the lives of students, their families, and their communities.

His innovative and proven approach to educating young people calls for new ways, new forms, and new measures in education.

Their mission is to transform education through real-world engagement, empowering young people to pursue meaning and to know that their lives matter.
