All Together Now: How to Engage Your Stakeholders in Reimagining School
Autor Suzie K. Bossen Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 iul 2017
This four-part framework, based on insights from those at the leading edge of change, will help readers navigate the journey ahead:
(1)The Why:To help a community reimagine school, effective leaders must first build common understanding about why change is necessary.
(2) The How: Moving from vision to reality requires practical considerations. For example, stakeholders with diverse backgrounds bring a wealth of experiences and perspectives to shape the future of education. To collaborate effectively, however, they need to speak the same language.
(3) The What-ifs: Only on paper do plans unfold without any push-back or detours. Leaders who maintain momentum and overcome resistance to “what ifs” and “yeah buts” share their troubleshooting strategies in this section, preparing readers to anticipate challenges and be more effective change managers.
(4) The Future Story: School leaders who are taking courageous steps to reinvent education understand the power of story. A superintendent who regularly tweets out examples of powerful student learning or a principal who blogs about school-business partnerships helps to build public understanding of 21stcentury learning. Keeping change efforts from backsliding requires ongoing communication, effective storytelling, and optimism about the future.
This book will walk readers through these four critical stages, helping communities mobilize around the shifts that students deserve. Compelling examples from schools on the leading edge of change will inspire readers to embark on the challenging work ahead. The book is intended to be a practical action guide, taking readers from talking about the future of learning to realizing their community’s vision.

"If you’ve stayed awake at night wondering how to create innovative education to meet the learning needs of today’s students and their families, worry no more! The author presents a broad range of current instructional trends in a practical, engaging way with useful questions for further thought."
"All Together Nowprovides rich examples of innovative practices taking place in innovative schools and districts. Educators looking to transform student learning will gain insight on how to implement these ideas in the classroom."
"School innovation is a subject that should concern all of us - students, educators, parents, community members. Suzie Boss hascreated a wonderful guide for all of us to think deeply, reflect critically, and act decisively to make schools better for all of us who need them."
"You won't find a better guide to the numerous and wide-ranging school improvement strategies out there than inAll Together Now!"
"Thisis a clear blueprint for real change in modern schools. A variety of frameworks including PBL, design thinking, making, student leadership, and parent empowerment are illustrated with examples from real schools and stellar advice from educators. Educators on the road to remaking their schools into better learning spaces should take this book with them on the journey."
"There have been many good books on the case for 21stcentury learning and schools, but only a rare handful on how to engage your stakeholders and community to bring that transformation to your own school or district. Fortunately, education writer and consultant Suzie Boss takes up that challenge and shares the stories of real-world school transformers and school transformations from around the world."
"InAll Together Now, Suzie Boss brings clarity and real-world examples for those seeking inspiration and solutions to build K-12 schools much needed for the twenty-first century. This book puts your finger on the pulse of the best examples of schools that help our students gain the skills to meet future challenges and opportunities."
"Boss surveys the bewildering landscape of school initiatives and helps the reader identify key features they can adopt and adapt to improve their community’s schools. She illuminates complex ideas with concrete examples from exemplary schools in the U.S. and abroad. This is a school transformation guide suitable for all stakeholders."
"I love Suzie's new book because it tackles the challenge of how to rally educators, parents, community members, and students around new visions of learning and teaching. Like her previous books, this one is rooted in the concrete strategies and techniques that numerous schools are using to create deeper, more engaging—and, yes, more successful—learning environments for children. If you're a transformational educator or policymaker who is looking for models and exemplars, use this book to learn from some of the most interesting, visionary schools in the world and inspire your own change processes."
"All Together Now should be required reading for school, district and community leaders as well as aspiring leaders in graduate school programs. Suzie Boss uses her amazing story telling and journalistic talents to highlight the communities, districts, schools and programs that are pointing the way for the future of learning. Boss uses straightforward language to lay out the challenges and potential solutions for educator and community leaders to work together toward preparing students for success in the 21st Century workplace and society. All Together Now is rich with suggested resources for those who are inspired to act. Facts, stories and resources - this book is a one stop inspirational tool for education and community leaders."
