That’s why the work of Challenge Success is so urgent. It has created a model for creating change in our schools that is based on research and solid foundational principles like communication, creativity, and compassion. If your community wants to build better schools and a brighter future, this book is the place to start.”\u003cbr\u003e—Daniel H.

By focusing on the day-to-day necessities of a healthy schedule; an engaging, personalized, and rigorous curriculum; and a caring climate, this book is an invaluable resource for school leaders, teachers, parents, and students to help them design learning communities where every student feels a sense of belonging, purpose, and motivation to learn the skills necessary to succeed now and in the future.”\u003cbr\u003e—Linda Darling-Hammond, Charles E.

With all the worry about student stress and academic engagement, Pope, Brown and Miles gently remind us that there is much we already know about how to create better schools and healthier kids. Citing evidence-based ‘best practices’ gleaned from years of work with schools across the country, they show us what is not working, but more importantly, what we need to do to fix things. Filled with practical suggestions and exercises that can be implemented easily, as well as advice on how to approach long-term change, \u003ci\u003eOverloaded and Underprepared \u003c\/i\u003eis a clear and compelling roadmap for teachers, school administrators and parents who believe that we owe our children a better education.”\u003cbr\u003e—Madeline Levine, co-founder Challenge Success; author of \u003ci\u003eThe Price of Privilege\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTeach Your Children Well \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“This new book from the leaders behind Challenge Success provides a thorough and balanced exploration of the structural challenges facing students, parents, educators, and administrators in our primary and secondary schools today.
