Just What You Would Expect From The Kings

Lots of great ideas and tips - it is everything that you would expect to hear from these incredible educators. This is a book that you want to listen to more than once or you want to have a hard copy to go back to. Highly recommend!

Immediately Useful!

I had the opportunity to read this book as part of a PD book study while I was interning and I absolutely loved it. At first it may seem uncomfortable, as it is urging you out of your comfort zone and urging you to take chances, but it feels great making engaging and educational experiences for your students! It helped my supervisoring teacher and myself take a chance and do a small room transformation and even dress up in period clothes for our introduction to Westward Expansion. The students and us enjoyed all the fun and unique ways we were able to learn, as a result of taking a chance...with the help of a big push from this book!

Retooling and Refueling with this great book.

This was a great book. It is feeled with motivating and realistic suggestions and steps to engaging students in the class.

Enjoyed reading about rigor in a positive light.

Great read! The King's are dispelling the myth of rigor in the classroom. Good job!

Amazing!

I could not let myself pause this book. What an inspirational read for teachers! I have never felt more excited, passionate, or ready to step into my classroom each day than I did while listening to this book. I love what I do, but this book increased my love for education even more!
