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 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. The text documents the ever-evolving implementation process, as well as outcomes and the ongoing work of stakeholders.  Readers can use this resource to create an education for all children that is culturally responsive, inclusive, effective, and fun.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eHelps educators teach in the way that human minds learn.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eJointly written in accessible language by teachers, administrators, parents, and learning scientists.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eOffers hands-on ways to reimagine classrooms without investing in new curricula.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003ePuts teachers in the driver's seat, reminding them of why they teach.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eProvides culturally responsive, inclusive, effective, and fun strategies.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eOffers children the possibility of learning the skills they will need for 21st-century skills success.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForeword  xiii\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcknowledgments  xvii\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.  Why Now?
