"It is possible to take the lessons that you teach every day and transform them into learning experiences. Amber Chandler, a highly experienced teacher, shows the way forward with practical tools and strategies in her workshops and in her book, The Flexible ELA Classroom." – Mark E. Weston, Ph.D, Strategist, Activist, and Author, @shiftparadigm"To truly teach middle school students in a way that invites them to create meaningful learning experiences for themselves requires a leap of faith, and a willingness to adapt your teaching style to meet their needs. In The Flexible ELA Classroom, Amber Chandler combines well-researched theory and her own classroom experience to help guide teachers as they reshape their classrooms to be a flexible, personalized learning space. This is a must read for all middle school educators. - Ami L. Turner, Senior Associate at the American Federation of Teachers, middle and high school English teacher and adjunct professor
