The End of Ignorance: Multiplying our Human Potential

John Mighton is the founder of JUMP Math, a system of learning based on fostering emergent intelligence. In this book, he draws “on new research in brain development and calls for a re-examination of the assumptions which underlie current teaching. He pays attention to how kids pay attention, chronicles what captures their imaginations, and explains why their sense of self-confidence and ability to focus are as important to their academic success at school as the content of their lessons.” - Quote from the book’s cover page

“The End of Ignorance conceives of a world in which no child is left behind - a world based on the assumption that each child has the potential to be successful in every subject” - Quote from Random House summary
