Crew is the crucible of character. You have in your hands the authoritative guide to creating a culture of Crew in your school--a how-to, why-to guide with vivid and specific examples. A must-read for educators interested in the whole child, and in all children, and in the potential for schools to change lives. Angela Duckworth Founder and CEO, Character Lab Rosa Lee and Egbert Chang Professor at the University of Pennsylvania Crew is a structure and a culture. It's the world's best advisory system and it's a culture that puts care and contribution at the core. We Are Crew describes how EL Education schools weave together character development and academic growth. It provides detailed advice and case studies on developing and facilitating an advisory curriculum, on creating schools where every learner belongs, on measuring what matters, and providing the professional learning for teachers to make it happen. It's the best book on advisory systems to date and a useful companion to Leaders of Their Own Learning. Tom Vander Ark CEO Getting Smart Formerly Founding Education Director, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation To build a growth mindset in students and teachers, we need school cultures that embrace it every day. The Crew culture described in this book gives schools a vision and a structure for that work--putting personal and academic growth at the center of the school experience. Every faculty should read it. Carol Dweck Lewis & Virginia Eaton Professor of Psychology Stanford University I consider EL Education the best contemporary example of quality education in the K-12 public educational system of the United States. In words, pictures, and accompanying videos, the authors succeed in conveying the challenges as well as the genius of the approaches that they have created and refined over the years.
