#Edjourney: A Roadmap to the Future of Education Hardcover - 2014

From the rear cover

#EdJourney: A Roadmap to the Future of Education takes a fresh look at our nation's schools, eschewing the negativity so often found in the world of education today. While on his solo road trip across the United States, Grant Lichtman, one of the country's leading experts in educational innovation, discovered that there is much to be positive about in today's K-12 schools. During Lichtman's travels, he interviewed more than 600 teachers, administrators, students, and parents to find out what kind of innovations they're doing right--and to discover how others can follow their example.

To help create an environment that will encourage innovation, #EdJourney puts the focus 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 the transition to new types of teaching and learning? What are the key obstacles to shifting away from the assembly line model of education? And, most importantly, how can we all leverage the lessons of success from the most innovative schools?

With this trailblazing and practical guide, educators can make sure their schools are ready for the future. Filled with compelling examples from around the country and based on the findings from the latest education research, #EdJourney maps out how administrators and teachers can embrace the innovation process that schools and learners need right now.
