About the Book

Author Stephanie Malia Krauss gets it. Every day she works with leaders across the country as they upgrade learning experiences to better equip young people for a changing world. In Making It: What Today's Kids Need for Tomorrow's World, she lays out what adults can do to get young people ready for the future. With so much changing so fast--accelerated by the impacts of COVID-19--the most in-demand jobs and skills of today may be obsolete by the time our youngest become adults. For kids to be ready for this new reality, they must acquire four critical currencies that will serve them well: credentials, competencies, connections, and cash. ● Learn about how the world and workforce is changing, and what that means for the education and preparation young people need ● Understand how these changes are impacting young people, reshaping their childhoods and transitions into adulthood ● Challenge your beliefs about what knowledge, experiences, and resources are most important for kids to have, and what a college- and career-ready education requires ● Discover community-wide strategies that prioritize equity, learning, and readiness for the future

About the Author :
Stephanie Krauss is a mom of two boys with a background in education and social work. About a decade ago, she left education because she was worried that earning a high school diploma was not the same thing as being ready for adult life. Since then, she has been on a mission to figure out what kids really need to be ready for adulthood. Stephanie is the author of Making It: What Today's Kids Need for Tomorrow's World, as well as a senior director at Jobs for the Future and a staff consultant for the Youth Transition Funders Group. When Stephanie is not raising kids and writing, she is helping leaders across the US to design solutions that improve the economic well-being of young people and families-especially those living in poverty. Stephanie was previously a senior fellow with the Corporation for a Skilled Workforce, the Forum for Youth Investment, and JFF. She was the national campaign director of Connecting Credentials and codirector of The Readiness Project. Stephanie previously founded and led Shearwater Education Foundation, which operated the first competency-based high school for opportunity youth in St. Louis. Stephanie started out as an elementary school teacher and soccer coach in Phoenix, Arizona. She has been a guest commentator on PBS NewsHour, StoryCorps, and public radio. Chelsea Stephens is an experienced voice actor with a talent for mystery, sci-fi, and YA novels. She won an AudioFile Earphones Award for her narration of Pale Horse, Pale Rider by Katherine Anne Porter. She has a longtime love and appreciation for the performing arts, with experience in on-stage acting, singing, and voice-over. Her love for reading books and the pursuit of the story led her to narration. She enjoys unfolding characters and bringing listeners into new worlds.
