内容简介

长久以来僵化的教育体系，

需要大刀阔斧的改革创新！

作者Diane Tavenner是一位专业的教育家，更是一位母亲。

2003年创办第一所学校(Summit Public Schools)，新颖的教学方式获得瞩目和认可。其校99%的学生毕业后都得以进入大学，且结业比率是一般学生的两倍！

和传统的教育方针截然不同，Summit Public Schools并非以竞争来推促学生学习、亦不执着于排名或考试分数。

相反的，学校考量每个人的脾性天赋，以「自信」、「自我学习能力」、「自律管理」为学习中心目标，并全力聚焦在「解决现实世界问题」的出发点上。

让学生们在学习的过程中，能有自我寻找答案和反思的自觉。

作者分享办学一路历程，以及在各领域实行此教学法的经验。

帮助读者们做好准备，在毕业后直接和社会接轨，不再茫然与社会脱节、不知自己学习初衷。 

如今，全美成千上万的师生开始实施此种全新学习模式，想必未来将掀起一波教育改革潮流！

“A treasure trove of deeply practical wisdom that accords with everything I know about how children thrive.”—Angela Duckworth, New York Times bestselling author of Grit

An educator and mother, Diane Tavenner cofounded the first Summit school in 2003. Summit Public Schools has won national recognition because 99 percent of Summit students get into a four-year college, and Summit students finish college at twice the national average. But in a radical departure from the environments created by the college admissions arms race, Summit students aren’t focused on competing with their classmates for rankings or test scores. Instead, students spend their days solving real-world problems and developing the skills of self-direction, collaboration, and reflection, all of which prepare them to succeed in college, thrive in today’s workplace, and lead a secure and fulfilled life. 

Today, thousands of educators, tens of thousands of students, and hundreds of schools across thirty-eight states and the District of Columbia have embraced the Summit model. 

Through personal stories and the hard-earned lessons of Summit’s exceptional team of educators and diverse students, Diane Tavenner shares the underlying learning philosophies and unconventional wisdom that lead to all children being prepared for school and life.

一份关于父母如何做能够不再为子女的未来担忧，并为子女的未来做准备的蓝图，作者是美国*具创新力的公立学校网络的共同创始人之一。

“深具实践意义的宝库，与我对儿童成长的了解相符”——《纽约时报》畅销书《坚硬》的 作者 

戴安娜.塔文纳（Diane Tavenner）是一位教育家和母亲，于2003年与他人共同创办了第一所峰会学校。由于99％的峰会学生进入四年制大学，而峰会学生的大学学业是全国平均水平的两倍，因此，峰会公立学校赢得了全国认可。但是，与大学入学军备竞赛所创造的环境大相径庭的是，Summit学生并不专注于与同学争夺排名或考试成绩。取而代之的是，学生们花费大量的时间解决现实世界中的问题，并发展自我指导，协作和反思的技能，所有这些都为他们在大学中取得成功，在当今时代的工作环境成长并过上有保障而充实的生活做好了准备。

今天，横跨38个州和哥伦比亚特区的数千名教育工作者，数万名学生和数百所学校采用了Summit模式。  

戴安娜·塔文纳（Diane Tavenner）通过个人故事和首脑会议杰出的教育者团队以及来自各个领域的学生来之不易的课程，分享了内在的学习理念和超凡的智慧，使所有孩子都为上学和生活做好了准备。
