Advance Praise
“I’ve just opened your book and need to force myself to look away! After each paragraph I find myself saying, ‘Yes, yes, yes!’ I hope and pray your book is welcomed with open arms. As I read, I think back to our own local school system (Todd County) voted worst in our state . . . we desperately need this type of transformation in our systems!”
–Dr. Nora Antoine, professor and board of education member for the Rosebud School District
“Educating each child based on individual achievement, passion, and potential has always been a challenge for schools. Utilizing the exponential growth in technology and artificial intelligence over the past few years, Nolan and Leah have created a blueprint to differentiated success unlike any that I have seen in my 20+ years in education.”

*****I received this as a free audiobook from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
As a teacher myself I was instantly drawn to the title and description of this book. I absolutely LOVED the ideas and concepts of the EXODEXA program. I would love to have this available for my children and my students!
If you are an educator, are a part of education, are a parent or just want to consider a change in our children this book is for you! I highly recommend it!!

This is a very thought provoking book regarding new ideas to improve the educational system. Although I agree with most of the ideas, I believe some would be very difficult to implement, especially on public schools. Overall it was an interesting book on this subject and the very good narrator made it very enjoyable to listen to.

As a high school teacher, I am always on the hunt for books about how to "do it differently". This was a nice change of pace. The video game angle was a cool touch.
