Ten Big Bets: Transforming Education During the Pandemic and Beyond
In this book, Dr. Gil Noam, a Harvard psychologist, researcher, and educator, shows that times of upheaval demand fundamental positive change. Rather than providing a technical manual or rigid prescriptions, Noam introduces ten core ideas for teachers, administrators, afterschool providers, and families to embrace both in the harrowing time of COVID-19 and in the years of reconstruction and transformation that will follow. By bringing us to these core ideas of what's important, Ten Big Bets offers a clear path for all adults who dedicate themselves to children and youth so that each and every one learns and thrives. Each chapter is followed by concrete, evidence-based recommendations that can be implemented immediately and over time.
