“Theory and research provide the foundation for change, but it is the actions undertaken by school leaders that drive transformation. Sheninger and Murray move well beyond the buzzwords and latest hype by providing a well-grounded, scholarly book that links theory, research, practical strategies, and evidence to move schools forward. The credible argument articulated is made even more impressive with the practical solutions found throughout Learning Transformed.”

“Our team has been immersed in deep learning for five years, and I can say without a doubt that Sheninger and Murray don’t miss a trick. Learning Transformed has it all: Eight Keys that are concise, clear, and comprehensive. Great insights across the whole book. The chapter on learning spaces and design is a gem—an innovative treasure trove of new ideas. The use of successful practitioners at the end of each chapter to bring home the points is especially powerful in consolidating the lessons learned. Put Learning Transformed on your short list to read and use!”

“Imagine schools and classrooms designed to develop students who are energized by learning, who are preparing for life in the world they inhabit, and who are taught by forward-thinking teachers supported in their own professional growth trajectories. In this design, equity is a non-negotiable, environments release creative energies, and communities are no longer outside the school. Learning Transformed points the way to actualizing our best understanding of teaching and learning as the central element in the critical work of school reform.”
