ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Michael Fullan thanks the growing number of colleagues around the world working on deep learning. This is truly a global movement, and we are learning a mile a minute. You are too numerous to mention but thanks especially to those directly participating to and contributing to New Pedagogies for Deep Learning (www.npdl.global), to my direct support team, and to Solution Tree for their great work in shepherding this book into publication.
Mark A. Edwards thanks all teachers and school leaders who work every day to grow their capacity to prepare students for their future. We are building new learning trajectories for students, teachers, and school leaders that have the potential to have a positive impact in the United States and around the world.
