Description
The authors propose new pathways to college and career readiness for K-12 students by providing learners with feedback to understand their strengths and abilities, offering a rigorous curriculum, and giving them the opportunity to apply their knowledge through collaborative inquiry and experiential learning. They discuss how to chart the course of this new pathway, understand leadership aspects, include all students, close the gap for all students and districts, and offer students choices, as well as the importance of skilled teachers. They include examples of best practices from schools in Canada, Australia, US, and the UK. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
