Get Real: Your Future Depends On It!, (Paperback)

Get Real! is the graphic novel sequel to the Navigating Our Way animated film, both of which are designed to tackle the stigma around the skilled trades. Written by Co-Executive Director Carlos Moreno and Big Picture Learning Co-Founder Elliot Washor, and illustrated by New York Times best-selling author/illustrator Peter H. Reynolds and team at FableVision Studios, the stories provoke questions about often debilitating, one-size-fits-all curriculum in too many public schools today.The story helps illustrate what it would mean for schools to Get Real! for students who aren't being served by the current system. What if all schools offered interest-based, mentor-supported REAL-world learning looks, with support from student selected mentors, apprenticeships and alumni networks?Join Bella and Xavi as they show how college isn't the only way to lead a successful life of no/low-debt, home ownership, job satisfaction, while being engaged in the ongoing development of their communities.
