#EdJourney (ePub)

Your formula for managing innovation and transforming
learning

#EdJourney: A Roadmap to the Future of Education is a
refreshing change from the negativity so common in the world of
education today. Over the course of a 3-month solo road trip across
the United States, author Grant Lichtman discovered that there is
much to be positive about in today's K-12 schools. Lichtman, one of
the country's leading experts in educational innovation,
interviewed over 600 teachers, administrators, students, parents,
and trustees to find out what kind of innovations they're doing
right--and how others can leverage their successes.

Innovation in education takes hard work, planning, and
cooperation. With examples from around the country and findings
from the latest education research, #EdJourney maps out how
administrators and teachers can embrace the innovation process that
schools and learners need now. Today's 21st century education
presents unique challenges and opportunities to students, and this
is a trailblazing practical guide to making sure education is ready
for the future. #EdJourney focuses on four key
questions:

* What new learning strategies are the top schools implementing
to prepare our students for their future rather than for our
past?

* How do teachers and administrators manage transitions to new
types of teaching and learning?

* What are the key obstacles to shifting away from the assembly
line model of education?

* How can we all leverage the lessons of success from the most
innovative schools?

The concrete examples and advice in this book will help you
bring innovation and educational design concepts into your school.
#EdJourney goes beyond the theoretical need for
change--by now a familiar topic to almost everyone--and
takes a real-world approach to achieving transformative education
in any school.
