In researching the skills students need to succeed in the future, Rachelle Dene Poth identified the following: ability to communicate, work in teams, think creatively, problem-solve and design. This book shows educators how to help students develop these essential skills through authentic, real-world learning experiences.

If we are dedicated to facilitating the best futures for our students, we must be fully invested in lifelong learning and our personal and professional growth. In this book, the reader will hear from different educators, each sharing anecdotes and wisdom about becoming more connected, taking risks, and using failures and past experiences to help prepare for the future. Inspirational quotes appear throughout, prompting introspection and a call to action. A student also lends her perspective in a chapter, offering reflection from the other side of the classroom. When we strengthen ourselves as educators, we in turn empower others to do the same. Stronger together, we face whatever the future of learning will bring.
