This book is a manifesto for change to a system that allows students to fall in love with learning and stay in the growth mindset for life. It offers an inspired vision of what schools could be, with clear action steps for your school and your community.

This book offers a careful look at how we came to have our traditional education system, and how it met the needs of a different time. By looking back at the past we can take on the task of change without casting blame, but with understanding. We will consider the systems design of the curriculum driven one-size-fits-all educational model, why it no longer meets our needs, and how to devise a system which can deliver a better future for our children and for ourselves as educators.
