Every Child Can by Kiran Bir Sethi

sohela.singh@harpercollins.co.in | 11 December 2023

 HarperCollins India is delighted to announce the publication of

EVERY CHILD CAN

Riverside School’s Design-Led Approach to Empower Children

by  Kiran Bir Sethi with Mohanram Gudipati and Apoorva Bhandari

 

About the Book

Using the example of Riverside School, which won the World’s Best School for Innovation 2023 in a worldwide competition by T4 Education, Every Child CAN makes a compelling case for a design-led approach towards education.

The book describes how Riverside School, founded by National Institute of Design alumnus Kiran Bir Sethi, has leveraged the design process to rework and reimagine every aspect of how a school functions, from pedagogy, teacher training, time-tabling, parent-school relationships, school and community engagements. It is a uniquely innovative process that focuses on developing the child’s agency and character above all else.

With case studies and first-person narratives by students, parents and teachers from Riverside, Every Child CAN reveals the ground-breaking ideas, tools, processes and practices based on the design process that led to a school where children become confident, empowered and humane, with an ‘I CAN’ mindset.

Talking about the book Kiran Bir Sethi says ‘Riverside, when I started it, was an act of faith – there had to be a better way to educate our children: that learning must be more than marks and degrees. Schools must be a place where children grow, thrive and graduate as empowered humane citizens. Not by chance—but by design.’

Amrita Mukerji, Managing Editor at HarperCollins India adds ‘Every Child CAN is the story of Riverside School and its unique, design-based curriculum that helps every child realize their true potential. The testimonials and stories of how the school has helped children develop are inspiring. It’s a must-read for parents and anyone connected with children’s education.’
