The answer to creating innovative teaching and learning opportunities lies within you.

By combining the power of the Innovator's Mindset and Universal Design for Learning (UDL), they empower educators to create opportunities that will benefit every learner. Couros and Novak show you how to . . .

"No one articulates a more compelling, a more urgent, or a more motivating vision of education--for both teachers and their students--than George Couros. No one articulates how that vision can be reached--for every student and teacher--more daringly, more practically, and more inclusively, than Katie Novak. Having them together in one book not only helps us reimagine the goals and practices of education, it reminds us of why we ever wanted to be teachers at all."

--David Rose, PhD. CAST's cofounder and chief education officer, emeritus
