The Revolution: Its Time to Empower Change in Our Schools

The Revolution is not for the faint of heart. No revolution is easy, but with our learners' futures at risk, the stakes in education have never been higher. To ensure that our learners are prepared to respond to and solve the complex problems they will face in this age of information and innovation, we must make our schools relevant, challenging, and inviting. Education needs a revolution! In The Revolution, Middle School Principals Darren Ellwein and Derek McCoy call out the stagnant practices and irrelevant mindsets that prevent our learners from thriving in the modern world. More importantly, they lead the charge for change by identifying ways that passionate, forward-thinking educators can inspire globally connected cultures of innovation and creativity.
