书籍介绍
这不是一本教孩子如何挤进名校的升学指南，而是一场关于「教育最终为了什么」的质询。作者Tavenner创办Summit公立学校，用99%的学生进入四年制大学、毕业率翻倍的成绩证明了一件事：把目标感、自主规划、协作与反思能力真正教给学生，反而能让他们走得更远。本书最耐人寻味之处，在于它拒绝把「上好大学」当作终点——家长渴望的，其实是孩子此后能过上幸福的人生，而传统学校恰恰没有提供这类技能。书中反复追问的那个问题格外尖锐：为什么一件显而易见对的事，机构却总设法阻拦？它适合那些不愿被录取率绑架、愿意重新思考「准备」二字的父母与教育者：真正的准备，是让孩子成为能自我驱动、清楚自己是谁的成年人。

精彩摘录
- "They wanted their kids to get into college, of course, but they also wanted them to have good lives. And school didn’t seem equipped to teach them the necessary skills. 当然家长都想让自己的孩子上大学，但这不是最终的目标，他们希望孩子们过上幸福的生活，而学校显然并没有教授他们所需的技能。"
- "We so rarely get to start from a place of wondering what might be possible. As educators, as parents, as human beings, we most often stay within the confines of what is. 开始做一件事时，我们很少能去思考不同的可能性。无论是作为教育者、家长还是个人，我们通常会受限于当下的现实和既定的框架。"
- "I promised all of our students would be equipped with academic skills, and with the real-life skills they would need to be successful and to contribute to society. 我承诺，所有学生不光会习得学术知识，还包括实用的生活技能，这是他们未来获得成功、为社会做出贡献所必需的东西。"
- "I worked hard to help her understand that the best way to get her kids accepted to selective schools was to help them develop their sense of purpose and to really understand who they were as unique individuals. 我做了很多工作，试图让她理解，想让孩子被好大学录取，最有效的做法就是培养他们的目标感，让他们真正了解作为独一无二的个体的自己。"
- "Why was it so hard to do something that seemed undeniably good? Why would people and institutions try to block us from treating and preparing every kid in the way their parents would want them to be treated and educated? Why was it okay for Kimberly to expect her own kids would go to college, but no"
- "Real-world projects lose their impact without the skills of self-direction. The self-directed cycle—a process by which students set a goal, make a plan, implement the plan, and then show what they’ve done—isn’t complete without the ability to reflect, with the guidance of a trusted mentor. Collabora"
- "For that matter, the experience and training of the teachers were similar. The big difference was the approach to learning. 其实对于老师而言，他们的个人经历和所接受的培训也都大同小异，关键的区别在于他们各自的教学方式。"
- "Since our goal at Summit is for kids to develop the skills and habits they need to be successful in life, our learning is designed to be focused on the real world every single day. Well-designed projects are the most effective learning approach to achieving this goal, so this is how we’ve organized "

看了英文电子版。
You'll get a lot more by reading the whole book instead of skipping to the last chapter, because the examples and thought process matters. Packed with insightful and useful information, highly recommended if you have kids K-12.
Project based learning, self directed learning, mentoring. 学习的渴望 成就感 改变思维 能够改变教育
同一个世界，同样的娃。格局决定心态，心态决定做法，不同的做法经过时间的复利叠加，最后产生了天差地别的结果。Summit的老师们也曾面临学困生恨不得破罐子破摔，但“不放弃一个人”让他们反躬自问是否“拼尽全力”。这本书不仅适合父母或者教育从业者阅读，任何想要寻求自我/团队成长的成人都会从中汲取力量。一本读来不时让人发出会心微笑，频频想和作者击掌的好书。
“Engaging students in real life experiences and real self-exploration enables them to flip the framing of their next stage of life so they feel empowered and in control, able to navigate themselves, as opposed to subject to the whims of big, impersonal institutions.” 目前的教育氛围下根本就看不到这样的可能性，实践起来太困难了，毕竟太多的什么对学校最好而不是什么对学生最好的形式主义
本书分享了作者的学校how to prepare students for the life in the future - essentially through motivating students to do their own research and take responsibility for their own learning.
作者确实用心在做教育，书中的很多观点值得借鉴
由于过去几个月的忙碌，断断续续地把书看完，今晚终于有空写一下读后感了。顾名思义这本书叫《准备好》，如果你有孩子准备读小学或者中学的话不妨看一下，里面有一些理念知识个人认为是值得学习的。
正如书本所提到，每个个体都是独一无二的。每位小孩子都有自己不一样独特的人格特征以及兴趣爱好。在传统的教育体系里，由于课程体制的单一导致很多孩子浪费很多时间去做应付式考试和作业，从而剥削对兴趣爱好的时间。正因如此，当今社会容易出现有好一部分人只能够在某种体系里生存，机械式地解决问题。
与传统学校相比，戴安建立了一所特许公立学校，学校最大特点是没有年纪区分，更贴合现实世界，让孩子提前准备。从老师的差异化方面，好的老师会更懂得如何启发和吸引学生主动思考并提问，通过好奇心驱动学生认清自己，了解自己爱好是什么。
Typical American…一句话一个理论就能写成一本书, she talks way too much about herself and her achievements…rather than education
语言比较简单，但作者的态度十分认真，有亲身经历让人不得不信的感觉
