You can’t these days throw a stone without hitting someone whose fortune was changed by the power of the internet. There are thousands of performers who were catapulted to stardom by YouTube, droves of mobile gaming companies that have seen great success in the app market, more product lines and categories than you can count successfully leveraging the fulfillment and distribution of Amazon, and a fast-growing number of independent course creators generating a meaningful income through the impact of their burgeoning education empires. Changing market conditions created new opportunities that many were able to capitalize on. The Teach and Grow Rich opportunity is one way to change fortunes and create an impact. It enables creating education products that empowers others to do what they already know how to do. This opportunity is more exciting than YouTube, mobile games, and Amazon put together, because it is qualitatively different in three important ways: democratized access, the fat tail, and the potential for impact.
One day, third-grade teacher Kyle Schwartz asked her students to fill-in-the-blank in this sentence: “I wish my teacher knew _____.” The results astounded her. Some answers were humorous, others were heartbreaking-all were profoundly moving and enlightening. The results opened her eyes to the need for educators to understand the unique realities
By acting as coaches, educators help students to mature socially as well as academically, within a respectful atmosphere. In a true coaching environment, teachers and students produce a continuous flow of synergy: One creative idea sparks another, leading to motivation and engagement; students are complimented rather than reprimanded for solving problems
In this book, author Doug Lemov offers the essential tools of the teaching craft so that you can unlock the talent and skill waiting in your students, no matter how many previous classrooms, schools, or teachers have been unsuccessful.
