From Reopen to Reinvent - (Re)creating School for Every Child

A practical blueprint to rebuilding an education system that is no longer working for its students
 
In From Reopen to Reinvent, distinguished education strategist Michael B. Horn delivers a provocative and eye-opening call to action for the overthrow of an education system that is not working well for any of its students. Grounded in what educators should build in its place to address the challenges that stem from widespread unmet learning needs, the book walks readers through the design of a better path forward.
 
Using time-tested leadership and innovation frameworks like Jobs to Be Done, "Begin with the End," tools of cooperation, threat-rigidity, and discovery-driven planning, From Reopen to Reinvent offers a prescriptive and holistic approach to the purpose of schooling, the importance of focusing on mastery for each student, and the ideal use of technology. It also provides readers with:
* A set of processes and ideals that schools should implement to deal with the challenges they presently face
* A way to transform threats into opportunities using threat-rigidity research
* A discussion of how the COVID-19 pandemic revealed that schools are not as flexible and equitable as we need them to be
 
Perfect for K-12 educators and parents and school board members involved in the school community, From Reopen to Reinvent is also an essential resource for professionals working in education-related non-profits and state education agencies.
