I teach students English at Science Leadership Academy in Philadelphia, PA. Some things we believe in include: project-based learning, the ethic of care, technology as a tool for empowerment, and no bells between classes. This blog is one window of many into the school and our practices.
If you’ve ever been curious about SLA, this is THE text for you. If you’re a little worried that our model of teaching and learning couldn’t work for you, don’t be — because this book has detailed “making the shift” sections that will help you transition your current practices as much or as little as your environment allows. And if you know somebody who would never consider trying to do what we do, well, order the book for them anyway and watch them get converted a little bit.
If you’re an ASCD member, congratulations, because Authentic Learning in the Digital Age is the book of the month, and you’ll be receiving your copy in early November!
For the rest of you, the book’s official release is November 4th — go ahead and pre-order now. 100% of the profits go directly to SLA, so you can feel good about the purchase.

Class Notes 
Hi, I attended and was very inspired by a session you presented at HSTW. I am unable to access the Independent Reading Survey and the Book Club Meeting Calendar on your Conference Session page. Is there any way you could share them with me or give me permission to access? Thank you!
Hi Mary Beth, Try both links now and let me know if they still don’t work. Hopefully the sharing permissions are fixed!
