I was excited to get this book because Dean and Scott are both experts in their fields and have important things to say about how we need to change education to better prepare the students for tomorrow. The book is very well researched and their simple suggestions to make impactful change are exactly what a teacher needs to improve their practice for the benefit of their students. If you are looking for a solid read for yourself, your department, or your entire school, this is the perfect book to start the right conversations.

Actually bought two copies of this excellent book. One for my Kindle and a hard copy to share. This book is not a long read. It’s about 60 pages. Don’t let that fool you. A favorite college professor, Dr. Ruth Slonim, once said, “Good writing is not when there’s nothing more to add, rather when there’s nothing more to be taken away.” This book is lean and dead on point. A literal wake up call. The authors share '6 arguments for making schools different.' Each argument is absolutely spot on. I've been a public school educator for 34 years, including 16 in the classroom. Any school or district contemplating change will do itself a favor by reading this book. It's a map for change. The change and a hard look at reality will require leadership, courage, and energy. This excellent book provides a starting place for conversation and action.

This book is very succinct and to the point of the reason for changes in our PK-16 systems. At the end of each chapter, the authors provide a checklist of things you can do immediately to get the conversation started or to take action. Many times, the change in schools is lost in committee, but the book provides many things to not only get the conversation started but then to do something about it. A great read for anyone who is looking to initiate change in education.

Reading this book not only revealed to me essential insights into the complex world of education but also helped me focus my own perspectives on each topic. Each chapter focuses on a major area we should be understanding and acting on as educators (information literacy, economics, boredom, and innovation to name a few), and the book wraps up with a number of powerful examples of deeper learning happening in schools around the world. This relatively short book (a quick read for administrators, educators, and leaders) provides a disproportionately large amount of knowledge and action steps to move classrooms toward environments that are rich in cognitive complexity. I am a better person / educator / leader for having read it and highly recommend it to those who think differently about K12 education.
