Can the prevailing factory model of American education be regenerated into one that prepares students for the emerging future? Absolutely, it can. The entrenched factory model of schools, teaching, and learning must be transformed if we are to prepare students for the rapidly emerging future. In keeping with the book's title, we must change our beliefs and behaviors away from merely "reforming" schools to realizing they are "seedbeds" from which can grow whole, organic, and radically redesigned systems. To do so, we must engage with regenerative frameworks, processes, and strategies, which are detailed in the book's chapters. Complacency with the historic model is not an option given the manifesting and mutating inorganic life form we and our students know as artificial intelligence. As discussed in the final chapter, AI can be our facilitator in system transformation or will redesign schooling without us. This purpose and six others are woven throughout the book to focus and unify our thinking about the possibilities and paths for transforming schooling from what has been to what can be. Readers embracing or curious about the need for radical change in learning systems will find this book full of provocations and possibilities.
