Education FuturesBuild a Positive Rebellion is now available
Education Futures LLC announces the release of Build a Positive Rebellion: Create New Education Futures (April 7, 2026), a new book by Dr. John W. Moravec:
The book extends the work of Manifesto 25 in a context where education systems are asked to prepare learners for conditions they were not designed to address. AI is part of that shift, but it is not the only one. Political pressure, standardization, and risk control continue to narrow what can be done, while classrooms still follow routines built for another century. The result is a mismatch that shows up every day in what educators can do and what learners are asked to learn.
The premise is simple: there is no hope without action.
Build a Positive Rebellion responds to this gap by shifting the focus from critique to use. Structured as a companion and workbook, it develops 25 short essays, each aligned to a principle from Manifesto 25, and connects them to practical action. The aim is not to offer a single model, but to support individuals and teams working inside constrained systems who are trying to do something different with the space they have.
The book is designed for flexible reading. Chapters can be approached in any order, used in short sessions, and revisited as contexts evolve. Integrated cahiers invite reflection, adaptation, and application in local settings.
The digital edition is released as pay-what-you-want, including free access, under a Creative Commons license to support broad circulation. A paperback edition is available through Amazon and other booksellers. A Spanish edition is in production.
Education Futures invites educators, researchers, and system leaders to engage with the work in practice, share it within their networks, and extend it through their own contexts.
