TC Press will release Schools Reimagined next week. We wrote it to offer some images of what resetting perspectives and practices in schools may look like when we unify the science of learning with the art of teaching.

Celebrating the work of Zitkala-Sa, Native American activist, born 145 year ago today. Just referenced her in an essay for @DavidCBerliner and Hermanns’ Public Education: The Cornerstone of American Democracy, to be released by @TCPress later this year. The struggle continues.

@cabinloon @alfiekohn We are all parents of the next generation. We need to support policies and practices that nurture children’s total well-being.

[Jacqueline Grennon Brooks @jgrennonbrooks]

@alfiekohn Test scores have been inappropriately exalted and tell us little about students’ reading and, more generally, student learning. They are the wrong metric.

[Jacqueline Grennon Brooks @jgrennonbrooks]

@alfiekohn Alfie, you always get to the heart of the matter. When teachers know why what they do works, they do it with greater conviction and creativity. That’s what we try to drive home in the book.

Giselle O. Martin-Kniep has worked with thousands of schools on strategic planning, so we highly value her endorsement of Schools Reimagined. @GiselleLCI

Michael Fullan describes Schools Reimagined as uncovering the “simplexity” of classrooms. Great word. Thank you, @MichaelFullan1, for writing the foreword.
