Reimagine the future of schooling through community-based design
Extraordinary Learning for All lays out a powerful approach to transform education through community-based design. Written by the co-founders and chief learning officer of Transcend, a leading nonprofit in school innovation, this book imparts proven tools and hard-won lessons that inspire school systems to pursue their own journeys. The methods come to life through vivid stories of the design journeys that four school communities--from urban to rural--have undertaken to create extraordinary learning for all young people.
"I have witnessed firsthand the powerful impact of Transcend's work.... I am thrilled that their approach is now captured in this book. It's essential reading for leaders at every level of the system who care about ensuring that ALL young people thrive in the 21st century."
--SUSANA CÓRDOVA, Colorado Commissioner of Education
"Transcend has played a pivotal role for years as a key partner in our journey, and I'm thrilled that this book will enable far more communities to benefit from Transcend's insights and actionable tools. If you are a leader looking to put your learners first, this book is for you."
