Effective teaching and learning must reflect what's happening technologically, socially, economically, and globally. In Ready for Anything, author Suzette Lovely introduces four touchstones that will invigorate students' curiosity and aspirations and develop their 21st century skills for college and career readiness. Each touchstone provides K-12 educators with specific actions, methods, and innovative teaching strategies they can begin using in classrooms today.

Use this book to guide your classroom instruction in preparing students for their future:

  • Become familiar with the changes that the 21st century has brought into the lives of students.
  • Expand your horizons as an instructor, and improve your craft in order to best prepare students for the future, using strength-based learning and personalized learning experiences.
  • Consider the importance of closing the opportunity gap in education and training students to become future-ready graduates.
  • Study student engagement and learning, and understand why learning, not teaching, should be the focal point of change in the classroom.
  • Explore four touchstones that will act as guides toward innovative classroom practices and future-focused pedagogy.
