Hack Learning Series books, brought to you by Times 10 Publications, are written by educators, authors and presenters-regarded as top experts in their profession. They help you solve big problems with simple ideas.
Because teachers and learners don’t need a 5-year plan, we provide a simple formula for solving problems today and building capacity for ongoing success.
Our Blueprint for Right-Now Solutions
Unlike your typical education text, Hack Learning books are light on research and statistics and heavy on practical advice and remarkably simple strategies provided by people who have actually experienced the problems about which they write. Each book in the series contains these parts:
Introduction: Our Hackers shed some light on the the theme of the book, basically the topic: Education, Assessment, Digital Literacy, Standardization, Leadership, etc. In a brief overview, we explain the issues and present a snapshot of our hacks.
Hacks: Chapters containing:
- a brief summary of the problem
- an overview of how to “hack” it
- a step-by-step blueprint for implementing the hack
- pushback-for the skeptics
- the hack in action-we demonstrate how someone has actually implemented our hack successfully
Conclusion: We wrap up with some reminders of what’s most important in the book and encouragement to help you start “hacking” tomorrow (you won’t find any 5-year plans here).
