Reviews
I have always held that education is the responsibility of the entire community-not just the schools. StriveTogether's experience shows that it is possible to drive the systemic change we need. I recommend this book to all who are looking for a community-wide roadmap to a better future for our children. - Richard W. Riley, former US Secretary of Education No one sector can tackle society's challenges alone. Striving Together's practical guide offers excellent tools for leaders in all sectors to use in creating collaborative solutions to improve education and outcomes for children. It's inspiring to see communities coming together to create opportunities for all children with a cradle-to-career approach. - Stacey D. Stewart, US President, United Way Worldwide History provides many examples of efforts to help whole communities to thrive. Collective impact is the latest and most promising idea for how to get it done, and StriveTogether is the leading example on the ground. This book is a welcome contribution, representing the state of the art! - Ronald F. Ferguson, Faculty Co-Chair and Director, the Achievement Gap Initiative at Harvard University; Faculty Co-Director, Pathways to Prosperity at the Harvard Graduate School of Education
