A blueprint for how parents can stop worrying about their children’s future and start helping them prepare for it, from the cofounder and CEO of one of America’s most innovative public-school networks
BILL GATES’S HOLIDAY READING LIST • “A treasure trove of deeply practical wisdom that accords with everything I know about how children thrive.”—Angela Duckworth, New York Times bestselling author of Grit
An educator and mother, Diane Tavenner cofounded the first Summit school in 2003. Summit Public Schools has won national recognition because 99 percent of Summit students get into a four-year college, and Summit students finish college at twice the national average. But in a radical departure from the environments created by the college admissions arms race, Summit students aren’t focused on competing with their classmates for rankings or test scores. Instead, students spend their days solving real-world problems and developing the skills of self-direction, collaboration, and reflection, all of which prepare them to succeed in college, thrive in today’s workplace, and lead a secure and fulfilled life.
Today, thousands of educators, tens of thousands of students, and hundreds of schools across thirty-eight states and the District of Columbia have embraced the Summit model.
Through personal stories and the hard-earned lessons of Summit’s exceptional team of educators and diverse students, Diane Tavenner shares the underlying learning philosophies and unconventional wisdom that lead to all children being prepared for school and life.

“In a world filled with lots of parenting advice, Prepared cuts through the noise, offering a no-nonsense guide for raising curious, confident kids. Diane shares the secret sauce behind Summit’s success and how we can make sure that all kids can have the same opportunity.”—Jon Deane, CEO of GreatSchools
“Prepared is compelling and actionable. It tells the story of why we all must do this work. We must prepare every child, not allow luck or circumstance to dictate their future—and ours.”—Dr. Priscilla Chan, CEO of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, pediatrician, and mother
“Diane Tavenner is one of the leading thinkers in education today—her energy and insights are infectious. There is no one better to think big about what kids need, and who can roll up her sleeves to make it happen.”—Sal Khan, founder and CEO of Khan Academy
##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。
评分 评分 评分##未来在哪里?而我们准备好了吗?这是我近几年一直追问的问题,然而自己的答案和心情如波浪一般时高时低。书中是Summit School对“改变”传统观念的实践,看到关于学生最受益的教师角色在于个人化的辅导tutoring bar时我的心情还是激荡了起来,因为这样的角色符合我的认知和我的定位,以至于过去这一年来我都不知道如何去完成那样面对几十张面孔的“大课”了
