Synopsis

In From Reopen to Reinvent, distinguished education strategist Michael B. Horn delivers a provocative and eye-opening call to action for the overthrow of an education system that is not working well for any of its students. Grounded in what educators should build in its place to address the challenges that stem from widespread unmet learning needs, the book walks listeners through the design of a better path forward.

From Reopen to Reinvent offers a prescriptive and holistic approach to the purpose of schooling, the importance of focusing on mastery for each student, and the ideal use of technology. It also provides listeners with:

● A set of processes and ideals that schools should implement to deal with the challenges they presently face

● A way to transform threats into opportunities using threat-rigidity research

● A discussion of how the COVID-19 pandemic revealed that schools are not as flexible and equitable as we need them to be

Perfect for K-12 educators and parents and school board members involved in the school community, From Reopen to Reinvent is also an essential resource for professionals working in education-related non-profits and state education agencies.

I don't know who the intended audience for this book was, but it was not me. The anecdotes that opened each chapter were interesting, and the best chapter by far was Implementing Change When People Don't Always Agree. Other than that, it felt incredible disjointed and largely unhelpful unless you ar......more
