Editorial Reviews:

"It is with unbridled enthusiasm that I demand that you stop what you are doing and read this book! Jo's constant hunger for knowledge as a teacher and her passionate, sarcastic, and unique way of storytelling make her an example to us all to never give up. She gives me hope that we can achieve anything we set our minds and hearts to accomplish, as long as we do it together."

- Vanessa Marcil

"As an educator, a creator, an artist, a queer champion, a mentor, and a true force of nature, Joanna's new book brings us along on a journey through her life and what indeed made Unlearn16 who she is today, and perhaps more importantly, why she is."

- Jann Arden

"Joanna skillfully conveys the significance of human connection in both life and learning with her new book! Her exceptional talent for educating others, with a perfect blend of kindness and compassion, distinguishes her as one truly remarkable individual this world needs!"

- Arlene Dickinson

Our mission is simple. Engaging students. Well, it is even more than that. We believe in investing in students' well-being. We believe in educating the entire child - mind, body, and soul. We are working to change parameters to meet the needs of ALL students. We believe that all students can achieve if given a fair chance. We accomplish our goals by creating content. We blog, we tweet, we YouTube, we attend conferences, we lead workshops, we develop professional development programs to meet the needs of full school districts. We are passionate about inspiring educators to create curious, seeking individuals in classrooms built on a community of trust, risk-taking, and a freedom to fail.

Breaking code isn't just about programming or AI, it's about disrupting the status quo. It is about challenging social norms. It is about having critical conversations. It is about challenging systematic beliefs. It is about educating the whole child - mind, body, and soul. Code Breaker is a beautifully dangerous invitation to reflect on education.
