Empowering Learners Through UDL and the Innovator's Mindset

The answer to creating innovative teaching and learning opportunities lies within you.

Every educator faces constraints--from budget restrictions to predetermined curriculum to "one-size-fits-all" mandatory assessments. The question is, how can you, as a teacher or administrator, ensure that regulations and limitations don't impede authentic learning?

In Innovate Inside the Box, George Couros and Katie Novak provide informed insight on creating purposeful learning opportunities for all students. By combining the power of the Innovator's Mindset and Universal Design for Learning (UDL), they empower educators to create opportunities that will benefit every learner. Couros and Novak show you how to . . .

 * Leverage the Core of Innovative Teaching and Learning with a focus on developing meaningful relationships.

 * Develop the 8 Characteristics of the Innovator's Mindset in your students--and yourself.

 * Use UDL to proactively design learning experiences that foster voice and choice while addressing barriers that impede learning.

 * Create learner-driven, evidence-informed learning experiences that provide all students with options and choices to maximize success.



"No one articulates a more compelling, a more urgent, or a more motivating vision of education--for both teachers and their students--than George Couros. No one articulates how that vision can be reached--for every student and teacher--more daringly, more practically, and more inclusively, than Katie Novak. Having them together in one book not only helps us reimagine the goals and practices of education, it reminds us of why we ever wanted to be teachers at all."

--David Rose, PhD. CAST's cofounder and chief education officer, emeritus

"An incredible book Innovate Inside the Box speaks to educators who are the change agents in their sphere of influence."

--Sarah Thomas, PhD, founder of EduMatch

"George and Katie's combined talents as spectacular storytellers drive this book. You will feel like you are flying through it and then realize how deeply you are learning."

--Loui Lord Nelson, PhD, author of Design and Deliver, and podcast host of UDL in 15 Minutes

Lessons Learned in a Montana Classroom

"Strengths' book is a clear picture of workplace bullying in academics" Drew Mitchell the Examiner "... severe examples of workplace bullying and harassment." Steven Hunt, Senior Producer, SDC Video Productions, Ottawa, Canada "The arc of Bravery, Bullies, & Blowhards: Lessons Learned in a Montana Classroom inspires hope." Torii Bottomley Massachusetts Healthy Workplace Bill Illustrates the dysfunctional atmosphere in one Montana school district. But, in reality, it could probably be any school district in any state of the union. Every school has its secrets. Every school has its malcontents. In order to write this book, the author had to take a long journey in search of understanding. Why did the administration react the way they did? What were the underlying problems that led to their strange behavior? What was it about her background and personality that led her to react as she did? At the end of the journey she realized that school safety was paramount. And parents, teachers and taxpayers all need to understand the pervasive atmosphere found in many schools. It was an atmosphere in which petty tyrants often rule. Those that wish to gain a better understanding of the after-effects of physical or psychological abuse will find this book to be a useful tool. The story is told with candor and honesty and may evoke emotions that are rarely expressed by a target. Sadly, the actions and/or inactions by management are often used to destroy talented and effective employees and many perpetrators remain employed - or promoted. Unfortunately, many will suffer after-effects and will never enter the workplace again. Some will develop PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)-the invisible injury. Bravery, Bullies, and Blowhards: Lessons Learned in a Montana Classroom attempts to lead the reader to that "aha" moment in which they can first understand and then stop abuse and/or bullying in the workplace.

THE BOOK THAT'S CHANGING THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION

"A brilliant teacher, Christensen brings clarity to a muddled and chaotic world of education."
―Jim Collins, bestselling author of Good to Great

"A terrific read; it must become a blueprint for educational transformation."
―Joel Klein, former Chancellor of the New York City Department of Education

Studies in neuroscience reveal that the way we learn doesn't always match up with the way we are taught. To stay competitive―academically, economically, and technologically―we need to apply the proven principles of disruptive innovation to our educational system. Disrupting Class will show you how to:

* Help more students succeed through customized learning
* Meet the demand for new technology, especially computers, in student-centric classrooms
* Use disruptive innovation to circumvent roadblocks that have stood in the way of reform
* Compete in the global classroom--and help students get ahead in the global market

Filled with fresh and surprising ideas, outside-the-box strategies, and straight-A success stories, Disrupting Class will make you rethink your understanding of intelligence, reevaluate your current school program, and reinvigorate your commitment to learning. The future is now. Class is in session.

A Guidebook for Institutions and Instructors

Virginia Lee hits the mark with her book on inquiry based learning. Most books addressing pedagogical practices are either too theoretical or so practically oriented that they lack a theoretical grounding. Lee combines both in a way that is attractive to any reader. She moves us from the theoretical to the practical in thirteen different classroom situations across just as many disciplines. The reader can easily find his/her discipline among the chapters in this section. The final portion of the book brings the reader full circle when Lee addresses inquiry based learning in relation to critical thinking, writing, service learning, faculty development and assessment. - Devorah A. Lieberman, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Wagner College ""Faculty, do you want to use inquiry-guided learning in your classes? Faculty Developers, do you want to support change in teaching and learning practices? Administrators, do you want a case study on managing undergraduate reform efforts? If you answer 'yes' to any of these questions, then Virginia Lee's book is an excellent starting point...This book is a 'must read' for faculty, who want their student to learn to think critically, develop inquiry skills, and take responsibility for learning. It offers a key strategy for achieving these goals and deepening the undergraduate learning experience. The book also provides faculty developers and administrators with ideas on creating and supporting change in the higher education classroom."" - The National Teaching and Learning Forum.

Learning Mathematics: a Program for Classroom Teachers

c1c21a49-70cc-4295-b313-536770b5f0b4-1

James Wintermote

Jim Fisher is a first year teacher who quickly learns that his job is more than simply educating his students. He has to battle indolence in the classroom, enabling parents, and an educational system which caters to the lowest level of student and parental incompetence. Fisher tries to keep his standards and expectations high, even when he has to go head to head with an administrator who becomes his nemesis. The novel also takes a glimpse into Fisher's personal life as he tries to balance the perils of dating with the trials and tribulations of his profession. The result is a hilarious explosion of absurdity, both in and out of the classroom, that takes the reader on a rollercoaster ride of entertainment and edification. Failing Mr. Fisher is based on the teaching experiences of James Wintermote and his family and colleagues. Using humor and candor, the novel gives us an insider's perspective into why the foundation of the American public education system is crumbling and how it affects not only the students, but more importantly the teachers who have been given the responsibility to educate our nation's children
