Every Child CAN shares the story of Riverside School, a uniquely innovative school that places the focus of developing a child's agency and character at the heart of education.
Through a rich collection of lived experiences and case studies, the book introduces readers to how Riverside has leveraged the design process to rework and reimagine every aspect of how a school should function, from pedagogy, teacher-training, time-tabling, to parent-school relationships, school and community engagements.
The book reveals some ground-breaking ideas, tools, processes and practices based on the design process that went into building Riverside, a school that encourages confident, empowered and humane citizens with an I CAN mindset.
The goal of the book is to offer this comprehensive framework and approach to teaching and learning to school leaders, teachers, policy makers and parents to consider, experiment and iterate upon. "
