Make Your Mark
If you can change education, you can change the world Edupreneur gives teachers the "how." You already know what needs to be done to improve education, but you may lack the support and processes to bring it to life—and that's where this book comes in. You'll walk through the four stages of innovation—dreaming, digging, making and sharing—and learn how to unleash ground-shaking change from the classroom up. Straightforward, highly practical and kick-in-the-pants inspirational, this book is your new companion for making education work. You'll read about passionate teachers who have raised attendance from 40% to 90%; you'll read about principals who took on the worst-performing schools and turned them around; you'll read about leaders who had the courage to take the reins of a school and turn it from good to great—and you'll learn how they did it and how you're entirely capable of the same kind of revolutionary change. This is a book not just for challenging schools, but for all educators who are passionate about providing a great education for every student, every day. Administrators, academics and politicians can debate endlessly about how to "fix our schools," ignoring the fact that their best innovators and catalysts of change are already right there in the classroom. You have plenty of ideas, so here's your license to make them happen. Edupreneur will help teachers in all schools to: Identify ways to improve day-to-day practice Overcome the challenges that hamper progress Create new solutions that sidestep old roadblocks Collaborate with similarly forward-thinking educators Imagine what education could look like if teachers were practically equipped to bring exciting new ideas to the classroom every day. Edupreneur helps you be that kind of teacher you've always wanted to be, with a clear framework for truly bringing on the change.

About the author
Find Your Courage, Stop Playing Safe, Brave.
The titles of Margie's three previous bestselling books reflect her passion for helping people make braver decisions and lead bigger lives.
Margie's had to find her courage many times since growing up as the big sister of seven on a dairy farm in rural Australia. Personal struggles, family tragedies, an armed robbery, having four children in five years: all have taught her valuable lessons about embracing change, building resilience and the power of purpose.
Today Margie draws on her background in Fortune 500 business, coaching and psychology to equip people with the mindset and strategies needed to achieve stronger outcomes for themselves and others. Her clients include NASA, Accenture, Johnson & Johnson, Facebook, Mars, Australian Federal Police, Microsoft, Oracle, and the United Nations Foundation.
Host of RawCourage.TV, Margie's insights have also been shaped by her work and interviews with leaders and luminaries such as Sir Richard Branson, Bill Marriott and Marianne Williamson. Margie has also co-authored two other books with world leadership experts Stephen Covey, Jack Canfield, Ken Blanchard and John Gray.
