The joy of writing this book has been an opportunity to offer an ocean of experience-based ideas. They are expressed in settings that invite teachers to want to experiment, to want to investigate new approaches. It asks them to let go of continuing to educate in deadening ways they may have learned when they were in school. it invites teachers to teach in classrooms where students will want to learn. They can do no less. 

Drawing on my fifty years in classrooms, I offer compelling pictures of teachers who show a better way––a way to learn alongside students, engage them in creative and thoughtful work, and bring liveliness into the classroom. 

Teaching That Matters is for teachers who want new life in their classrom and into their school.
