"Shift
Ed’smajor
strength
is
awakening
Americans,
especially
the
educational
community,
to
the
reality
that
change
is
here.
We
must
prepare
our
young
scholars
for
a
global
society,
as
opposed
to
past
teaching
and
learning
practices."
“Thanks to David for leading the charge.Shift Ed: A Call for Transformation of K-12 Educationis a blueprint for getting it right in education.”
“America needs a new educational vision.Shift Edprovides a clear vision that emphasizes the essential ingredients of a 21st-century education based upon creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking. Houle and Cobb make a great case that nothing less than transformation will be enough.”
“As an urban educator who is passionate about transformative international education,Shift Edstrikes a deep chord. It is a bold call to action to ensure universal student success in a globalized environment that is always changing.”
"David Houle and Jeff Cobb make a powerful case for a transformative shift in schooling, and explain what such a shift might entail. They persuasively and passionately argue that deep-rooted norms need to be fundamentally rethought in tandem with larger technological and social changes. Their vision of what the next decade might hold and their assertion that student-centered, progressive instruction is the way of the future are sure to spark smart discussion among educators, policymakers, and parents wondering what's next for schooling."
"As an educator, I highly recommend this book on the transformation of K–12 education. Old ways, repeating the past, and no change are hallmarks of a broken system.Shift Edoutlines the case for building a new system of K–12 education."
“Our future rests in the hands of our children, and these hands must be strong to accomplish this great task. Their strength will come from their education but, unfortunately, our education system is failing them. David Houle and Jeff Cobb’sShift Ed: A Call to Action for Transforming K-12 Educationis a powerful voice in the honest conversation that must lead to a solution.”
“Shift Edchallenges your educational mindset without being intimidating. I spent the entire read asking myself, “why not?”
“We can’t educate the leaders of tomorrow with yesterday’s education model. Houle and Cobb offer a much needed, action-oriented, transformative vision for what K-12 education must become. It’s time to stop talking and start doing. Our future depends on it.”
“The strength of this book is the strong case the authors make for change. They point out how our nation is falling behind in the quest for global supremacy and what changes need to be brought about for that problem to be corrected.”
“Shift Ed is a call to action. There’s no doubt that the David Houle and Jeff Thomas Cobb have identified where education must go, so the question becomes how will we – as parents and educators and community leaders – get there? Shift Ed is the kind of book that makes us ask the toughest questions about how we’re educating our children today, and provides a broad vision for changes we simply have to start preparing for and making today.”
"David Houle uses his vision to identify the need for transformation in education, as he has so profoundly done for us in business. Shift Ed is a must-read, and it resonates to people many levels: from citizens, taxpayers, grandparents, and family to passionate educators observing the frustrations of the system that can't effectively compete or function in today's Shift Age."
"Provides a powerful key to changing the process of teaching. From socialcultural evolution in generations to the evolving landscape of education in America,SHIFT EDis a fine pick."
