Open Education
Matt Bowman
The World Has Changed. Education Is Opening Up.
No more being stuck in a box.
No more choosing between rigid options.
No more forcing square pegs into round holes.
For the first time in history, every approach to learning—from hands-on apprenticeships to innovative classrooms, from creative exploration to rigorous academics—is becoming available to every family.
Drawing from their work with over 100,000 students, education pioneers Matt Bowman and Isaac Morehouse show how to navigate this new world of possibilities. They reveal practical ways to craft an education that works with your child's natural curiosity and talents rather than against them. This is your roadmap for turning the overwhelming array of options into a personalized learning journey that actually works.
"Open Education shows how we can finally break free from an outdated model..."
– Amir Nathoo, Founder of Outschool.com
"A practical framework to help families turn educational principles into actionable success that will benefit the child's strengths and learning style."
– Deborah Hendrix, Executive Director, Parents Challenge
“One-size-fits-all education is breaking, but top-down reforms won't save it. This book reveals how families and educators are building something better: a flexible, personalized approach that puts learning in the hands of students and their families."
– Michael B. Horn, Co-founder, Clayton Christensen Institute, Author of "From Reopen to Reinvent"
