內容簡介

長久以來僵化的教育體系，

需要大刀闊斧的改革創新！

作者Diane Tavenner是一位專業的教育家，更是一位母親。

2003年創辦第一所學校(Summit Public Sc??hools)，新穎的教學方式獲得矚目和認可。其校99%的學生畢業後都得以進入大學，且結業比率是一般學生的兩倍！

和傳統的教育方針截然不同，Summit Public Sc??hools並非以競爭來推促學生學習、亦不執着於排名或考試分數。

相反的，學校考量每個人的脾性天賦，以「自信」、「自我學習能力」、「自律管理」為學習中心目標，並全力聚焦在「解決現實世界問題」的出發點上。

讓學生們在學習的過程中，能有自我尋找答案和反思的自覺。

作者分享辦學一路歷程，以及在各領域實行此教學法的經驗。

幫助讀者們做好準備，在畢業後直接和社會接軌，不再茫然與社會脱節、不知自己學習初衷。 

如今，全美成千上萬的師生開始實施此種全新學習模式，想必未來將掀起一波教育改革潮流！

A blueprint for how parents can stop worrying about their children’s future and start helping them prepare for it, from the cofounder and CEO of one of America’s most innovative public-school networks

“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.

一份關於父母如何做能夠不再為子女的未來擔憂，併為子女的未來做準備的藍圖，作者是美國*具創新力的公立學校網絡的共同創始人之一。

戴安娜.塔文納（Diane Tavenner）是一位教育家和母親，於2003年與他人共同創辦了第一所峯會學校。由於99％的峯會學生進入四年制大學，而峯會學生的大學學業是全國平均水平的兩倍，因此，峯會公立學校贏得了全國認可。但是，與大學入學軍備競賽所創造的環境大相徑庭的是，Summit學生並不專注於與同學爭奪排名或考試成績。取而代之的是，學生們花費大量的時間解決現實世界中的問題，並發展自我指導，協作和反思的技能，所有這些都為他們在大學中取得成功，在當今時代的工作環境成長並過上有保障而充實的生活做好了準備。

今天，橫跨38個州和哥倫比亞特區的數千名教育工作者，數萬名學生和數百所學校採用了Summit模式。  

戴安娜·塔文納（Diane Tavenner）通過個人故事和首腦會議傑出的教育者團隊以及來自各個領域的學生來之不易的課程，分享了內在的學習理念和超凡的智慧，使所有孩子都為上學和生活做好了準備。
