A blueprint for how parents can stop worrying about their children’s future and start helping them prepare for it, from the cofounder and CEO of one of America’s most innovative public-school networks
BILL GATES’S HOLIDAY READING LIST • “A treasure trove of deeply practical wisdom that accords with everything I know about how children thrive.”—Angela Duckworth, New York Times bestselling author of Grit
An educator and mother, Diane Tavenner cofounded the first Summit school in 2003. Summit Public Schools has won national recognition because 99 percent of Summit students get into a four-year college, and Summit students finish college at twice the national average. But in a radical departure from the environments created by the college admissions arms race, Summit students aren’t focused on competing with their classmates for rankings or test scores. Instead, students spend their days solving real-world problems and developing the skills of self-direction, collaboration, and reflection, all of which prepare them to succeed in college, thrive in today’s workplace, and lead a secure and fulfilled life.
Today, thousands of educators, tens of thousands of students, and hundreds of schools across thirty-eight states and the District of Columbia have embraced the Summit model.
Through personal stories and the hard-earned lessons of Summit’s exceptional team of educators and diverse students, Diane Tavenner shares the underlying learning philosophies and unconventional wisdom that lead to all children being prepared for school and life.
Advance praise for Prepared
“In a world filled with lots of parenting advice, Prepared cuts through the noise, offering a no-nonsense guide for raising curious, confident kids. Diane shares the secret sauce behind Summit’s success and how we can make sure that all kids can have the same opportunity.”—Jon Deane, CEO of GreatSchools
“Prepared is compelling and actionable. It tells the story of why we all must do this work. We must prepare every child, not allow luck or circumstance to dictate their future—and ours.”—Dr. Priscilla Chan, CEO of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, pediatrician, and mother
“Diane Tavenner is one of the leading thinkers in education today—her energy and insights are infectious. There is no one better to think big about what kids need, and who can roll up her sleeves to make it happen.”—Sal Khan, founder and CEO of Khan Academy

“Engaging students in real life experiences and real self-exploration enables them to flip the framing of their next stage of life so they feel empowered and in control, able to navigate themselves, …
虽然书中的很多观点都是耳熟能详，比如我们应该用兴趣导性的方式，帮助孩子们学习，但书中更多的是用 summit 学校实践的案例来帮助读者们如何落地这些理论以及实践过程中需要的额外附属手段。虽然我已经了解了最前卫的儿童教育方式和理论，但我知道要具体实践非常困难。这不免也让我联想到《82 年出生的金智英》《我是妈妈，我需要铂金包》里面探讨的育儿、工作、家庭，和社会关系之间的处理。每一个难题的答案都是非单…
概念并不新鲜，只是 因为作者办了一间与众不同的学校之后，把一些零散的概念串起来了。两个图还不错，精要都在里面了。如果没有时间看，直接看最后一章的概要就可以了。
培养孩子的自觉，好奇心，合作能力和对成功的渴望，支持他们为明天做好准备。
