Spirit is the essence of character—of what it means to be human. Finding hope in the power of collaboration underpinned by 'spirit work'-- the care and love of students as learners-- Fullan & Edwards capture how some school districts are creating a deep learning environment for all.

COVID-19, racial inequity, polarizing politics, mass misinformation, and myriad other challenges have made the future of education seem bleaker than ever. ***Spirit Work and the Science of Collaboration***speaks directly to leaders' hearts and advocates for the development of two qualities that will bring back hope for the future of education: "spirit work" and the science of collaboration. Spirit work centers love and care for students, staff, and communities as the impetus for creating a positive culture, while collaboration is the vehicle for manifesting that spirit work. Through powerful case studies and vignettes, the authors show how spirit and collaboration represent revolutionary potential for education. Readers will find
