Summary Note "In the new global economy, the jobs that exist now might not exist by the time today's students enter the workplace. To succeed in this ever-changing world, students need to be able to think like entrepreneurs: resourcefully, flexibly, creatively, and globally. Researcher and Professor Yong Zhao unlocks the secrets to cultivating independent thinkers who are willing and able to think creatively and differently about creating jobs and contributing positively to the globalized society. 'World class learners' presents concepts that teachers, administrators, and even parents can implement immediately, including how to: Understand and harness the entrepreneurial spirit; Foster student autonomy and leadership; Encourage inventive learners with necessary resources; Develop global partners and resources. With the liberty to make meaningful decisions and explore nontraditional learning opportunities, today's students will develop into tomorrow's global entrepreneurs." - Back cover.
