An inspiring account of teachers in ordinary circumstances doing
extraordinary things, showing us how to transform education What
School Could Be offers an inspiring vision of what our teachers and
students can accomplish if trusted with the challenge of developing
the skills and ways of thinking needed to thrive in a world of
dizzying technological change. Innovation expert Ted Dintersmith
took an unprecedented trip across America, visiting all fifty
states in a single school year. He originally set out to raise
awareness about the urgent need to reimagine education to prepare
students for a world marked by innovation--but America's teachers
one-upped him. All across the country, he met teachers in ordinary
settings doing extraordinary things, creating innovative classrooms
where children learn deeply and joyously as they gain purpose,
agency, essential skillsets and mindsets, and real knowledge.
Together, these new ways of teaching and learning offer a vision of
what school could be-and a model for transforming schools
throughout the United States and beyond. Better yet, teachers and
parents don't have to wait for the revolution to come from above.
They can readily implement small changes that can make a big
difference. America's clock is ticking. Our archaic model of
education trains our kids for a world that no longer exists, and
accelerating advances in technology are eliminating millions of
jobs. But the trailblazing of many American educators gives us
reasons for hope. Capturing bold ideas from teachers and classrooms
across America, What School Could Be provides a realistic and
profoundly optimistic roadmap for creating cultures of innovation
and real learning in all our schools.
