Learning Swarm: How Parents, Teachers, Administrators, and Students Can Make School More Productive Enjoyable

K-12 education in the United States costs nearly $1 trillion per year. School must be important for this expense to be justified. But money can't solve the biggest problems in our schools. Test scores are down, teachers are leaving the profession, and students are unhappy. What can be done? It turns out the solution is nearly free. That's what Anthony Kulla is proposing in this insightful book about improving education. His reframes school in terms of how motivated students are to learn and how school culture impacts their learning. He doesn't stop there. He compellingly identifies how school improvement is the responsibility of everyone; administrators, teachers, parents, and even students have a big role to play in making our schools thriving places. His people-centered approach avoids the blame game by promoting understanding and focusing on simple steps to a better future.
