Recenzii

"In a world struggling to meet overwhelming economic, climate, and public health emergencies, we must all take part in a process of Tikkun Olam—repairing the world. Because schools and their teachers are fierce promoters and protectors of democracy, they are just the warriors of hope our world needs to build a new system. One that illuminates the place for each child to participate in a way that nurtures their intellectual gifts and safeguards their dignity. Our education system of rigid hierarchies, disenfranchisement, and standardized inequities is in dire need of being flipped on its head and reimagined for this purpose. What Mike Soskil—one of the most audaciously gifted educators I know—and his passionate and dedicated colleagues are about in this book is showing you how to do that starting today." Shanna Peeples, U.S. National Teacher of the Year (2015)
"‘Flip the system’ (not to be confused with ‘flip the classroom’) is about the whole system. Written primarily by teachers, it provides compelling ideas for going from bottom to top and back again to transform education for democracy, for equity, for healthy students and communities, and for elevating teachers individually and collectively as decision-makers, and system problem solvers. Fresh, grounded ideas for a stale system. Makes you think, and propels you to act." Michael Fullan, Emeritus Professor, OISE/University of Toronto
"The front-line educators who lend their voices to Flip the System US: How Teachers Can Transform Education and Save Democracy are exactly those who need to be driving any change in education: professionals with classroom experience, informed by research, and who understand the key role education plays in our democracy. Their focus on student wellbeing and their collective call for an equitable system are an important and welcome contribution at a critical time." Jerry Oleksiak, Past President of the Pennsylvania State Education Association
"Flip the System US: How Teachers Can Transform Education and Save Democracy succeeds at providing a vision of education that gives hope in this time of uncertainty. Bringing together diverse educator voices with practical ideas for the classroom, inspiring stories, and the latest research, this book is a must-read for anyone involved in education."Armand Doucet, Author of Teaching Life: Our Calling, Our Choices, Our Challenges
"Soskil’s collected texts illuminate the need to reconfigure educational systems, showcasing who and what matters most in the American education system. This is important, timely work."J. Scott Baker, Teachers College Record, April 6, 2021 https://www.tcrecord.org/Content.asp?ContentID=23662
