For years, focusing on the achievement gap has led to the same result: We hope for greatness and settle for competence. But why settle? It’s time to recognize that the potential for greatness lies in a unique form within each child, and that the goal of education should be to encourage and develop it.

This inspiring manifesto brings in research from different disciplines to show where children’s strengths and passions can be found, and how personalizable education uncovers them. Also included:

• Strategies for implementing personalizable education
• Examples showing practices that have gone wrong—and right
• Guidance for teaching disadvantaged students

Every child has the potential to be great. Teaching for greatness gives students control of their own learning—and guides them toward future happiness and success.
