520    "Diane Tavenner, founder of Summit Public Schools, offers 
       a blueprint for a better way to educate our children, 
       based on the revolutionary lessons, insights, and 
       methodology she and her faculty developed over 15 years at
       their famously successful charter schools in California 
       and Washington, which she is now introducing to public 
       school systems across the country that Summit is 
       partnering with to transform education and better prepare 
       our children to lead fulfilled and successful lives. Diane
       Tavenner founded the first Summit charter school in 2003, 
       developing and perfecting a personalized, project-based 
       curriculum that puts students in charge of their own 
       learning. The school developed a learning plan for every 
       student. They engaged the students by appealing to them 
       with interdisciplinary, real-world projects, rather than 
       passively learning and memorizing in a classroom 
       environment. They created mentorship groups, where 
       students would talk through their goals and help each 
       other solve problems, as well as meet one-on-one with 
       their mentor, weekly. By internalizing a sense of purpose,
       self-direction, self-sufficiency, and collaboration, 
       students learn the cognitive and life skills needed to 
       navigate the next phases of their lives. Virtually 100% of
       Summit's original 400 students went on to attend four year
       colleges"--|cProvided by publisher.
