Proven methods, hard-won lessons, and practical tools to create a better future of education
Extraordinary Learning for All delivers a hopeful, humane, realistic, and compelling portrait for how we must reinvent schooling for a new century, drawing on the voices and experiences of real school communities who are on that journey and illuminating the specific actions that school and system leaders can take to spark these journeys in their communities.
Written by the cofounders and Chief Learning Officer of Transcend, a leading nonprofit in school innovation, this book provides solutions to the major problems we face in education, including approaches that:
● Reverse declining enrollment rates and chronic truancy, especially in large urban districts, through better student engagement
● Mitigate our national mental health crisis through school designs that address higher-than-ever-rates of boredom, stress, and chronic anxiety
● Engage and collaborate with parents and communities to improve local schools
● Uplift the voices and expertise of teachers, 300,000 of whom left the profession between 2020-2022
