“Krauss offers the roadmap we need to get kids ready for a rapidly changing and challenging world. Her call for every adult and educator to become a currency-builder is one we should take seriously. This is a must-read.”
Arne Duncan, managing partner of Emerson Collective and former US Secretary of Education
“Smart and insightful! Stephanie Malia Krauss makes a compelling case for the new currencies kids need to thrive in our rapidly changing world.”
Cal Newport, New York Times bestselling author of Digital Minimalism and Deep Work
“Krauss is an educator who knows that learning is not to be confused with schooling. She demonstrates brilliantly that complex ideas can be communicated clearly, and with some wit. Drawing on her own professional and personal experience, she shows in this lively book that academic qualifications are necessary, but far from sufficient. Being ready to ‘make it' today requires skills and connections acquired far from the classroom. Inequalities in the first two decades of life echo through working lives; ‘making it' has become a near-certainty for children born to affluent, educated, healthy parents but an ever-steeper challenge for those born to poor parents, and those facing the obstacles of anti-Black racism. Krauss wants making it to be a right, rather than a privilege. The hope animating this book is that we can find ‘beauty in the brokenness' of our current moment. Timely, wise, and inspiring.”
Richard V. Reeves, Senior Fellow at Brookings Institution, and Author of Dream Hoarders
“With her trademark blend of liveliness and concrete, realistic advice, Stephanie Malia Krauss writes about what the future holds for today's kids – and what youth workers, families and allies can do to help prepare them. Easy to read, and with ideas you will return to.”
Leslie Lapides, senior editor, Youth Today
“What will it take for children growing up today to ‘make it’ in a society that is changing so rapidly? Stephanie Malia Krauss's magnificent book explores this important question and provides creative pathways to ensure a better future for our kids.”
John Bridgeland, CEO of Civic and former director of the White House Domestic Policy Council
“In Making It, Krauss powerfully equips parents, educators and
