The Limitless Classroom Sample Chapter

This chapter looks at the first teaching mantra, Kids Deserve More Time to Think and Do (so that we prioritize deep understanding).

Welcome to The Limitless Classroom!  


Maybe you are here because you, too, believe the classroom is a place where students can reach all kinds of potential, maximizing their knowing and doing around skills, strategies, concepts, topics, and ideas, both big and small.  


Maybe you teach the whole child, working to ignite the passions inside each learner.  Or, maybe, you saw the title and felt that twitch of skepticism and questioned, “In today’s school culture, is there really a limitless classroom?” 


This book is for every educator—teachers, specialists, instructional coaches, principals, curriculum directors, superintendents, and more.  No matter if you teach pre-k or grade 12 AP Biology, these mantras are for you.


Mantras you ask? What are they? Mantras are words and actions that we live by.  They create soothing, joyful feelings that bring about balance and calm to our lives and our classrooms. 


In this book we dig into what we think are three critical mantras for all educators: 

  1. Kids Deserve More Time to Think and Do

  2. Kids Deserve The "Why" and The "How," Not Just the "What" 

  3. Kids Deserve to Own Their Learning Journey


Together we will go on a journey discovering how each one of these mantras can set us free from the confines of traditional teaching and create a truly Limitless Classroom where students are able to achieve their fullest potential. 


So get ready to create opportunities for students to engage in long-sighted learning, putting into action the difference between instruction that scratches the surface and instruction that serves long-term meaning making. Get ready to use your head, heart and gut to make instructional designs that meet and exceed students’ individual and collective needs.  And get ready to bolster learning opportunities that maximize student growth and create a Limitless Classroom.
