The following is an excerpt from "Deeper Learning How Eight Innovative Public Schools Are Transforming Education in the Twenty-First Century," by Monica R. Martinez and Dennis McGrath. A particularly vivid example of putting students in the driver's seat of their own education is the way they handle what traditional schools refer to as parent-teacher conferences.

Upon first glance, the photo above looks like Diane Arbus' iconic Identical Twins photo captured in 1967. Then you realize that those are definitely not the young girls seen in the original photo. Looking a more closely, you start to notice an uncanny resemblance to actor John Malkovich.
