This book aligns evidence from the learning sciences on how and what students need to learn with classroom practice (pre-K-12). It demonstrates, with hands-on examples, how a change in educational mindset (rather than in curriculum) can improve student outcomes on both standardized tests and a breadth of 21st-century skills. Written collectively by classroom teachers, administrators, parents, and learning scientists, this book shows readers how to co-construct and reimagine an optimal educational system. \u003cem\u003eMaking Schools Work\u003c\/em\u003e offers three case studies of schools, including a statewide system, that are all realizing a 6 Cs approach to learning focused on collaboration, communication, content, critical thinking, creative innovation, and confidence.

Readers can use this resource to create an education for all children that is culturally responsive, inclusive, effective, and fun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eMaking Schools Work\u003c\/em\u003e is not an ordinary book about re-imagining education.
