Delivering on the Promise: The Education Revolution

This book shares the compelling story of how a team of visionary educators turned the traditional education system inside out and created a dramatically different approach to schooling that would serve every child. The result is the Re-Inventing Schools Coalition (RISC) Approach to Schooling, a new paradigm in education that can be replicated anywhere, by anyone, for any student, under any set of circumstances. Benefits: Examine the RISC Approach to Schooling through the inspirational story of the Chugach School District. Discover why the award-winning approach has proven to be successful. Learn how the approach can be effective in a variety of school environments--rural and urban, large and small. Compare the RISC system to a traditional education system, and learn why the pace at which each student learns is so critical to consider. Understand the foundational pillars of RISCs whole-child model: motivation, engagement, and shared leadership.
