From Reopen to Reinvent

PRAISE FOR FROM REOPEN TO REINVENTMichael has been at the forefront of reimagining education for over 15 years. His work has inspired me and continues to be a beacon toward which we seek to design our solutions and transform learning worldwide. This book continues that tradition by pointing in a clear direction that all schools should strive to meet to unleash the talents of each and every learner.--SAL KHAN, Founder of Khan AcademyFrom Reopen to Reinvent offers a blueprint both for what schools should be and a set of steps to help educators start moving in that direction to better support each and every student. At a time when districts could easily freeze in the face of challenges from all directions, the wisdom in the book will help them carve out pathways to move forward and prioritize the success of each child and family.--ARNE DUNCAN, former U.S. Secretary of EducationThe pandemic exposed serious, long-term problems in K-12 education and identified significant educational achievement gaps across this country. If ever there was a time to hold ourselves accountable for student performance and consider new strategies, it is now. As Michael Horn's book, From Reopen to Reinvent: (Re)creating School for Every Child, reveals, our education system must consider new strategies that ensure every child has the opportunity to achieve their full potential and is prepared for both work and life in the 21st century.--MARGARET SPELLINGS, former U.S. Secretary of Education under President George W. Bush and president and CEO of Texas 2036In this book, Michael Horn has beautifully articulated a profound, insightful examination of the Future of Learning and call-to-action for us all. He truly raises the bar of what education should look like in a post pandemic world. Bravo!--PHYLLIS LOCKETT, CEO, LEAP InnovationsMichael Horn's call to recreate schools so that they work for every child is particularly timely and important for our nation. Horn provides a clear pathway and action plan for school leaders, teachers and parents to envision a different future--one that really honors and enables the individual talents and dreams of each child. A thought-provoking read with great real life examples, it should be essential reading for school leaders, teachers, parents, policymakers and others who want to step up and create more opportunities for students and schools to thrive.--KEVIN HALL, CEO of the Charter School Growth Fund
