Kate McAllister's life as an educator is define by "what if?":

"What if learning could be different?
What if we did education with not for others?
What if we can become more self-determined in our learning?
What if education can help regenerate the planet?"

“Extensive evidence shows that increased student engagement leads to a myriad of benefits that we are neither making up nor exaggerating:

Higher attendance rates and grades
Higher achievement
Higher test scores
Higher academic aspirations
Higher graduation rates
Higher life satisfaction
More prosocial behavior
Higher college attendance
Higher rates of staying in college
Lower levels of depression
Lower suicidal thoughts and behaviors
Less substance abuse
Fewer delinquency and behavior problems.

In other words, more engaged kids learn better, perform better, feel better, and live better.”

Huge congrats to @pammoran1.bsky.social & @irasocol.bsky.social for assembling a team of nearly two dozen educators and school leaders to document their path toward transformative school change in 'Real Learning, Real Accomplishment: Schools that Work for Kids.'

We're honored to do our part. 😁

Cover of Real Learning Real Accomplishment: Schools that work for Kids

“As schools across the country confront a disengagement and mental health crisis, the need for a human-centered education has never been more immediate. Grounded in models of practical shifts with an eye toward intentional systems change, Real Learning, Real Accomplishment is a guide for courageous educators and school leaders who want to shift their practice to change the system by learning from those who already have.” - Nick Covington, Cassie Nastase, Chris McNutt, Directors, Human Restoration Project

"If [education is] just instrumental, if it's just about getting students in & out with the degree, well, then AI...[but] I don't think it's the right way to think about what university education or education in general is & should be about."
