Extraordinary Learning for All (How Communities Design Schools Where Everyone Thrives)

Proven methods, hard-won lessons, and practical tools to create a better future of education

Extraordinary Learning for All: How Communities Design Schools Where Everyone Thrives delivers a hopeful, humane, realistic, and compelling portrait for how we must reinvent schooling for a new century, drawing on the voices and experiences of real school communities who are on that journey and illuminating the specific actions that school and system leaders can take to spark these journeys in their communities. The frameworks, concepts, and stories in this book, emanating from direct, in-the-trenches partnerships with innovators on the ground, show, in genuine detail, what makes this work hard—but also what makes it possible.

Written by the co-founders and Chief Learning Officer of Transcend, a leading nonprofit in school innovation, this book provides solutions to the major problems we face in education, including approaches that:

• Reverse declining enrollment rates and chronic truancy, especially in large urban districts, through better student engagement
• Mitigate our national mental health crisis through school designs that address higher-than-ever-rates of boredom, stress, and chronic anxiety
• Engage and collaborate with parents and communities to improve local schools
• Uplift the voices and expertise of teachers, 300,000 of whom left the profession between 2020-2022

For educational leaders in communities of all shapes and sizes, Extraordinary Learning for All: How Communities Design Schools Where Everyone Thrives is your blueprint to break free from the traditional model of schooling and build a better future for all.
