Power of Unstoppable Momentum

Your school district can revolutionize its culture to improve student learning. This book details a simple but powerful school improvement plan for integrating educational technology, pedagogy, and deep learning that leads to lasting change. Included are real examples of districts, including Mooresville Graded School District—a lowly funded, 50 percent poverty school district in North Carolina—that attained pedagogically driven, technology-accelerated success.
