• How to become the "Wild Card" that changes the game for your students

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!

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.

Amazing things to think about!!!

I loved this book. This is my first year going into education, and I had no idea of what to think. Through reading this book and working on my Alternative Teacher Certification, I have so many ideas of things I want to implement and I know it will take time but I am looking forward to being in education more than I ever have before!!!

Inspirational & Easy to follow

A very enjoyable outline to being a wonderful teacher with tried-and-true examples that spark your creative imagination. Wade & Hope are truly inspirational!

Amazing! The Kings know how to motivate!

I loved this book! It is just as inspiring as their public appearances. I plan on listening to it again many times.

Great Read

I was able to truly reflect on my teaching as I read this book. I don't do change easily however, their results motivated me to take the book seriously. I will be implementing more creativity into my classroom this coming up school year.

Listening the the Authors…AMAZING

I love when the authors narrate their own books! It makes it so much more personal and helpful!!
