The Writing on the Classroom Wall: How Posting Your Most Passionate Beliefs About Education Can Empower Your Students, Propel Your Growth, and Lead to a Lifetime of Learning

by Steve Wyborney

22 Teachers, 22 Learners. In Steve Wyborney's classroom, everyone is a teacher and a learner. That may be true in your classroom as well, but do your students know you are ready to learn right alongside them? It's a simple idea, but one that when publicly shared on his classroom's wall significantly influenced the way Steve approached teaching - and the willingness of his students to risk expressing novel ideas. In The Writing on the Classroom Wall, Steve explains how posting and discussing Big Ideas can lead to deeper learning. From this book, you'll learn sharing your ideas will sharpen and refine them. It's okay if some of your ideas fall off the wall. The Big Ideas you share don't have to be profound to make a profound impact on learning. If you look around your classroom, you will see a blank space on your wall that is waiting for you to post your deepest, most passionate beliefs about learning. Will you share your Big Ideas?

I am absolutely in love with this book. I have never connected to a book this much. So much heart, reflection and ideas that I am aligned with. I am passing this title on to anyone that will engage in a conversation with me about children or education.
