Отрывок из книги
“Krauss offers the roadmap we need to get kids ready for a rapidly changing and challenging world. Her call for every adult and educator to become a currency-builder is one we should take seriously. This is a must-read.”
Arne Duncan, managing partner of Emerson Collective and former US Secretary of Education

“Making It is the book that Stephanie Malia Krauss was destined to write. With each page, she lays out a logical and comprehensive roadmap of what all of us need to do to ensure that our children enter a world for which not only they are prepared academically, but a world that reflects improved values, justice and human-centered priorities. Knowing Stephanie and having had the distinct pleasure of working alongside of her in creating better opportunities for Virginia's children, this book does what she does so very well – it creates a vision of what could be and designs a process to actually make it happen. We owe it to our children, especially those underserved, to do all in our power to deliver to them a future that is full of promise, wonder and curiosity. Making It does just that. From my vantage point, there is no more time to waste. This book will inspire you to action. It did me.”
Steve Constantino, internationally recognized speaker on family and community engagement; executive professor for the School of Education at William and Mary; author of Engage Every Family: Five Simple Principles; and former chief academic officer and acting state superintendent in Virginia
