Agents of Impact offers us a dynamic new paradigm for education, including concrete tips, compelling research, and inspiring profiles. It provides a roadmap for reimagining how schooling happens. This is the book to read if you care deeply about empowering young people to find greater agency, resiliency, and meaning.”

Ari Gerzon-Kessler / Author of On the Same Team: Bringing Educators and Underrepresented Families Together, Gold Medal Winner for Best Education Book of 2024

“This book really reinforced and helped to expand the approach our school is working toward in terms of more student choice and voice in real-world problem solving scenarios. Today’s students really need to find purpose and meaning in their learning and are engaged earlier than ever in their lives in impactful, society-changing endeavors. We, as educators, need to understand the positive impact our students can and should have on the world. We need to create the time, resources, and conditions necessary for them to explore their passions and ideas versus just memorizing standardized information. Rethinking why we teach information and how our students interact with that information is more vital than ever. This resource exposes the reasons why we, as educators, need to rethink traditional schools and begins to provide some concrete ideas as to the direction our current and future students will need to find lifelong success and, in the process, effectively change the world they will live in.”

Stacey Riendeau / Principal, Heritage High School, Littleton. Colorado
