Rezensionen

Praise for Iterate

"There are lots of books out there talking about "change" in education. However, Justin has written one of the few, if not the only, one that talks honestly about the negatives of 'top down' change being done 'to' teachers and students, and points the way to 'bottom up' change done 'with' teachers, students and their families."

- Larry Ferlazzo, High School educator, author, and Education Week teacher advice columnist

"I wish I had a red telephone in my office that I could pick up any time I wanted to talk with Justin Reich about the beautiful, sticky, and crucial work of helping schools evolve. This book will now sit on my desk and play the role of that phone. Iterate is packed with thoughtful perspectives, real stories, and actionable approaches for how we can create the conditions for positive change in schools. And it's all shared in a crisp conversational tone with vibrant illustrations. I never have to call Justin again!"

- Sam Seidel, co-author of Hip Hop Genius 2.0 and Creative Hustle; and K12 Lab Director of Strategy + Research at the Stanford School

"Perhaps the greatest praise I can give a new book is this: I want to give this to all my educator friends and colleagues. There is so much in this book that 'works'! I found myself repeatedly saying, 'Yes! Yes! I agree with that! Yes, that makes so much sense!' Here's one: 'If we want students to try new ideas; teachers must do so, too.' Or this one, 'Design as flare and focus,' or even more powerful the idea of having more adults in schools who still teach part-time. And the best, 'only teachers can change teaching and learning.' There are so many invaluable nuggets of wisdom and truth in this book. And the best, most of it is available for free through creative commons. Reich has given the field an important and exciting new resource."

- Linda Nathan, lecturer at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and founding Head of Boston Arts Academy

"Justin Reich stands out as one of the most brilliant minds in education reform. In his latest book Iterate: The Secret to Innovation in Schools, he masterfully combines his extensive academic research and vast experience as an educator to create an immensely useful resource for guiding change in schools. This book offers an invaluable blend of concepts, strategies, and tools that empower school leaders and individuals to understand and effectively design innovation within educational communities."

- Tom Daccord, co-founder of EdTechteacher

"In Iterate: The Secret to Innovation in Schools, Reich masterfully synthesizes decades of research and practice into a powerful set of strategies that help spark change in education. Acknowledging that schools are complex systems that operate on many levels, the three practical and ready-to-implement approaches shared in this book demonstrate how to engage all stakeholders in collaborative experimentation that works!"

- Tom Driscoll, CEO of EdTechTeacher

"In The Magic School Bus, Ms. Frizzle gives her students some great advice: 'Take chances, make mistakes, get messy.' In his timely new book Iterate, Justin Reich gives similar advice for classroom teachers and school leaders, providing useful examples and practical tips on how to innovate at all levels of the school ecosystem by continually experimenting with new approaches and making changes based on the results, over and over again."

- Mitch Resnick, Professor at MIT, Director of the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the MIT Media Lab, and Developer of the Scratch creative computing community

"Iterate is more than a guide--it's an irresistible call to action for educators, leading toward innovation and systemic transformation. Reich, with his impressive wisdom drawn from profound involvement in educational reform, weaves compelling narratives that make this book a captivating journey. Rich in research-based practices, this work is not merely about reading cover to cover, but learning, applying, and iterating upon the myriad lessons and practical strategies it imparts. An essential compass in the pursuit of educational metamorphosis, Iterate masterfully turns insights into action."

- Eric Klopfer, Professor at MIT and Director of the Scheller Teacher Education Program

"Reich by no means underestimates the challenges and complexity of promoting innovation in schools and what it can require of teachers and school leaders. But this is a hope-inspiring, energizing book that will be immensely helpful for all educators who are trying to roll up their sleeves and get on with exploring, prototyping, trying, reflecting--and iterating on--the kinds of locally-responsive improvements to teaching and learning that all students need and deserve. Reich deftly and coherently steers the reader through a plethora of ideas--some well-known and some his own--that can be tried out on Monday within a single classroom or used to inform large-scale, systemic change."

- Liz Dawes Duraisingh, Co-Director and Principal Investigator at Project Zero, Lecturer at Harvard Graduate School of Education, and author of Inquiry-Driven Innovation: A Practical Guide to Supporting School-Based Change

"Justin Reich has written a gem of a book. Iterate is a how-to manual for climbing out of that rut and rediscovering the creative processes that reside in all of us. It should be on every educator's bookshelf."

- Sam Wineburg, Margaret Jacks Professor of Education, Emeritus, Stanford University, Founder of the Stanford History Education Group

"This is a book for every educator, community member, family member, and policymaker interested in learning more about the work they do to improve it. Drawing from his rich and robust experiences as well as transdisciplinary perspectives on designing and improving teaching, Reich has produced a powerful book that innovates as it educates."

- H. Richard Milner IV, Cornelius Vanderbilt Chair of Education, Immediate-Past President, American Educational Research Association, and author of The Race Card

"Intuitively we know that teachers are the driving force of change and administrators need to create the conditions for this to happen but rarely is that articulated, much less given a road map."

- Melanie Ching, Director of Community & Engagement at What School Could B
