Series Information: Transforming Teaching
Rethinking Readiness offers a new set of competencies to replace
the narrow learning goals of No Child Left Behind and, in chapters
written by some of the nation's most well-respected education
scholars, explores their implications for schools. Today's students
must cultivate the full range of intellectual, interpersonal, and
intrapersonal capacities that have been grouped together under the
banner of "deeper learning." Rethinking Readiness focuses on how
educators and policy makers should move forward to provide the
educational experiences that students need to become truly well
prepared for college, careers, and civic life, including changes in
curriculum, teacher evaluation, and student assessment. As state
leaders chart a new course for K-12 education in the Every Student
Succeeds Act era, Rethinking Readiness offers a succinct and
compelling vision for a new agenda for school reform so future
generations can prosper in a rapidly changing world. Contributors:

Anytime, Anywhere synthesises existing research and practices in
the emerging field of student-centred learning, and includes
profiles of schools that have embraced this approach. Since the
time of Dewey, educators have argued that students should be at the
centre of learning, constructing new knowledge based on what is
interesting to them, and receiving guidance in classrooms-or
anywhere they may happen to be-from adults with whom they have
positive relationships. Now, with the advent of new technologies,
researchers are confirming the value of this approach by showing
how the human brain and memory work in response to different
environments, and how digital tools give students powerful new ways
to express what they've learned.
An innovative way for young people to understand their communities.
