Would you rather people saw you as open or closed minded? The answer should be obvious. Why is it then that we tend to allow our legacy systems in education to be closed, when they clearly don't enable the same level of performance as open ones. This phenomena is well-established in education, where many educators tend towards isolation, in-fighting, and hoarding resources from each other. Meanwhile, students often have lack a clarity of purpose in terms of how what they are working on relates to things they care about in the wider world. Stuck inside an unengaging status quo, many students see "doing school" as irrelevant to their interests and ambitions. This book is the antidote to this closure: from the classroom to system-wide policy. It is a call-to-action for educators who want to become relentless collaborators networked with professionals in and outside the school. They are then poised to quicken the pace of innovation through accessing the endless supply of free knowledge available to them. This is the definitive resource on how to create an “Open Way Learning” ecosystem in your school, district, or region.

Review

Haigler and Owens offer a provocative new vision of what education could be. Education leaders, take note of ‘The Open Way:’ teacher-led collaborative teams can unlock innovation, student success, and teacher satisfaction like you’ve never seen. -- Bryan C. Hassel Ph.D, co-president of Public Impact & Opportunity Culture

This is the perfect read for any teacher leader or administrator looking to pull their school out of the dark ages and into now! I’m so excited for my colleagues to read this so we can get started opening up education...together. -- Anna E. Baldwin, 2014 Montana Teacher of the Year

Haigler & Owens’ application of open source philosophies and practices in education is both brilliant and inspirational. -- Tom Callaway, University Outreach & Fedora Special Projects Director at Red Hat

Open Up, Education! should give hope to anyone who cares about transforming education. Haigler and Owens have articulated a vision for 21st century learning that finally breaks with an industrial-era understanding of how and why we learn. -- Aria F. Chernik, JD, PhD, director, Open Source Pedagogy, Research + Innovation Program, Duke University

Culture is King

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 8, 2019

Verified Purchase

Open Up Education at its core, is a book about creating the right culture in a classroom or preferably a school for modern learning. It addresses many innovations that shouldn't be considered fads but movements in education including Project Based Learning and Competency Based Learning. This book is all about creating the right mindsets and conditions for student-centered inquiry that is authentic and community based.

I feel like this book is good for all educators, but is really essential for district level and building administrators who want to bring systemic change to their schools. I am an experienced PBL teacher and trainer of teachers and the schools who lay the groundwork as explained in this book of empowering teachers, collaboration, and innovation have the most successful transitions to PBL. I think reading and wrestling through its ideas with your staff would be a great way to move a traditional school to a place where it is ready for the PBL journey.

Chapter 6 was my favorite as it told the story of an Open Way school from the perspective of a student, teacher, principal, and parent. Critics might find it hyperbole but my school was just like this description and so is the authors' school. I also love the emphasis on needing to rebel and break away from traditions that have outlived their usefulness (if they ever had any in the first place).

I highly recommend this book to any educators looking to innovate and bring authentic learning experiences for all of their students! Administrators looking to move their staff to try to new things should definitely read it too.

Top of the Food Chain

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 20, 2019

Verified Purchase

In the earliest pages of their introduction to Open Up Education, Haigler and Owens feature a brilliant essay from David Preston, PhD, who keenly observes that "human beings beat other species to the top of the food chain for two reasons: first, we're better at learning, and second, we're better at telling stories about what we've learned." Over the course of the 190 pages that follow, the authors proceed to peel back the curtain of their own learning experiences and share the stories behind some of the most collaborative, experimental, and genuinely exciting approaches to educational design that I've seen in ten years as a classroom educator. It's a fascinating read, and one that I find myself returning to frequently when I work with fellow educators in my building and beyond its walls as an instructional coach and conference presenter. To wit, this is "top of the food chain" type thinking; a radically student-centered approach with the brass tacks to back it up. A great book with a ton of valuable takeaways that's super relevant for a 21st century classroom. Not dwelling on the mistakes of the past, but challenging us to "Open Up" our understanding of what schools can become to make our classrooms more rigorous, relevant, and real. The pedagogy is outstanding, and the prose is really compelling. Absolutely loved it.

The best book to Open Up Education and redesign your school and classroom! Inspiring!!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 7, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book reinvigorated my desire to teach within the first 10 pages! We often think, as educators, that what we are doing works to some degree, but needs a few tweeks here and there. This book led me to not only tweek my lessons, but redesign my lessons to ensure students are learning the content within the realm of relevance to them personally. After reading this book, well half way through, I asked the teacher next door to co-teach. It has been amazing. Our Earth Science class is now learning the state standards and curriculum through the lens of their ecological address and the community where they live. Students are truly engaged in the process. The learning, conversations, and collaboration in my classroom has skyrocketed. Not only between the students, but between the other teacher and myself. I believe as educators, we have the power to Open Up Education in our own classrooms, and through that experience, share it throughout our schools and districts. I implore any educator to read this book and learn what true open education can be.

Must Read For Educators

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 6, 2020

Verified Purchase

Owens and Haigler draw on their years of experience in rural appalachia as they write about their efforts to de-silo their teaching / learning. Their philosophies draw upon on the open source model promoted in the tech sector, but they apply this model in ways that make sense for their students and their school community. The book is a bit like a manual for school reform, but also a piece of thought leadership for anyone looking to do positive and productive work in schools. This is a great read for any parent, teacher, or school leader that is looking for a thoughtful approach to doing things differently in their school.

Open Up Education is one of those rare accounts of transforming schooling that’s not smothered in academic prose and presuming that a magic formula has been discovered that works everywhere all the time. It’s an original story of the authors’ journey into the world of what works, and they discovered or rediscovered that universal principles of flattening the hierarchy and turning what matters over to people right on the line, I.e., the teachers — that works and works well. I most appreciate that they listen to students. And it shows in the motivation to learn. Well worth reading.

Bridging the Miracle of Engineering Technology with the Essence of Learning

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 10, 2019

Verified Purchase

Adam and Ben rocked our State of Education book club in Minneapolis, twice! First in a Zoom meeting with Adam, kindly addressing all our questions and later with an in-person presentation and workshop by Ben with 60 excited attendees. Open Up, Education! brings together the mind set of engineering innovation with the hands-on, community-connected experience of loving teachers. Rather than teacher-directed problem sets for students to choose from, multidisciplinary projects emerge though student interests, with teachers as guides. This is a must read!
