CA Featured in Book on Educational Innovation

8/26/2014

Colorado Academy is featured as an example of innovation in education in the newest book by senior fellow at the Martin Institute for Teaching Excellence, Grant Lichtman. Lichtman’s my new book, #EdJourney: A Roadmap to the Future of Education was just released as both an iTunes and hard copy publication. Two years ago, Licthman took a solo, nation-wide research tour to 21 states, visiting 60 schools and interviewing more than 600 educators to find out how today’s best schools are prepare students for an evolving future. Innovation in education takes hard work, planning, and cooperation. With examples from around the country and findings from the latest education research, #EdJourney maps out how administrators and teachers can embrace the innovation process that schools and learners need now. Today's 21st century education presents unique challenges and opportunities to students, and this is a trailblazing practical guide to making sure education is ready for the future. #EdJourney focuses on four key questions: 

1. What new learning strategies are the top schools implementing to prepare our students for their future rather than for our past?

2. How do teachers and administrators manage transitions to new types of teaching and learning
3. What are the key obstacles to shifting away from the assembly line model of education?
4. How can we all leverage the lessons of success from the most innovative schools? 

Say the reviews, “ #EdJourney goes beyond the theoretical need for change—by now a familiar topic to almost everyone—and takes a real-world approach to achieving transformative education in any school.”
