Her method is accessible to teachers of all levels: 'Make mistakes alongside your students,' 'Let students explore and wonder about a topic before teaching it,' and 'Have students set personal goals for the week.' Through this lens into her classroom, she challenges educators to join in the fearless revolution. An inspiring read for teachers of every vintage!"--Mark Moran, Founder and CEO, Dulcinea Media and Co-founder, Choose2Matter "Every classroom should be modeled around The Fearless Classroom.
