A blueprint for how parents can stop worrying about their children’s future and start helping them prepare for it, from the cofounder and CEO of one of America’s most innovative public-school networks
BILL GATES’S HOLIDAY READING LIST • “A treasure trove of deeply practical wisdom that accords with everything I know about how children thrive.”—Angela Duckworth, New York Times bestselling author of Grit
An educator and mother, Diane Tavenner cofounded the first Summit school in 2003. Summit Public Schools has won national recognition because 99 percent of Summit students get into a four-year college, and Summit students finish college at twice the national average. But in a radical departure from the environments created by the college admissions arms race, Summit students aren’t focused on competing with their classmates for rankings or test scores. Instead, students spend their days solving real-world problems and developing the skills of self-direction, collaboration, and reflection, all of which prepare them to succeed in college, thrive in today’s workplace, and lead a secure and fulfilled life.
Today, thousands of educators, tens of thousands of students, and hundreds of schools across thirty-eight states and the District of Columbia have embraced the Summit model.
Through personal stories and the hard-earned lessons of Summit’s exceptional team of educators and diverse students, Diane Tavenner shares the underlying learning philosophies and unconventional wisdom that lead to all children being prepared for school and life.
Advance praise for Prepared
“In a world filled with lots of parenting advice, Prepared cuts through the noise, offering a no-nonsense guide for raising curious, confident kids. Diane shares the secret sauce behind Summit’s success and how we can make sure that all kids can have the same opportunity.”—Jon Deane, CEO of GreatSchools
“Prepared is compelling and actionable. It tells the story of why we all must do this work. We must prepare every child, not allow luck or circumstance to dictate their future—and ours.”—Dr. Priscilla Chan, CEO of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, pediatrician, and mother
“Diane Tavenner is one of the leading thinkers in education today—her energy and insights are infectious. There is no one better to think big about what kids need, and who can roll up her sleeves to make it happen.”—Sal Khan, founder and CEO of Khan Academy
##Project based learning, self directed learning, mentoring. 学习的渴望 成就感 改变思维 能够改变教育
评分 评分概念并不新鲜,只是 因为作者办了一间与众不同的学校之后,把一些零散的概念串起来了。两个图还不错,精要都在里面了。如果没有时间看,直接看最后一章的概要就可以了。
评分 评分##同一个世界,同样的娃。格局决定心态,心态决定做法,不同的做法经过时间的复利叠加,最后产生了天差地别的结果。Summit的老师们也曾面临学困生恨不得破罐子破摔,但“不放弃一个人”让他们反躬自问是否“拼尽全力”。这本书不仅适合父母或者教育从业者阅读,任何想要寻求自我/团队成长的成人都会从中汲取力量。一本读来不时让人发出会心微笑,频频想和作者击掌的好书。
评分 评分##Summit的办学理念简直跟我追求的学校教育完全一致: 好的高中应该prepare kids for fulfilled life in college, work and life. 推行project-based learning和自主学习self-direction,强调教师的作用是以mentor的身份来引导而不是灌输。认为高中时期认清who am I and what I value 非常重要并应该多尝试多接触不同的领域来确定自己真正感兴趣的职业方向。但是我该到哪里去找这样的学校呢?
