Teachers across the country are burned out.

You know it, and I know it.

It seems like everyone and their mother is trying to create some new gimmick or policy to fix the problem, but the best, most effective solution is just four words:

“I love this class.”

Nothing recharges a teacher’s batteries like hearing a student say that they love being in your class.

And that’s what I’m offering in my upcoming book, If Students Had a Choice.

What can we do in the very first week of school to immediately stand out to our students?

How can we greet, encourage, and even redirect students in a way that makes them happy we're their teacher?

How can we create a mindset that will build a positive, effective classroom culture that lasts not just for some honeymoon period in September, but for the entire school year?

I want to get these tools into the hands of as many teachers (young and… less young) as possible. The first step actually starts before the book is even published.

I need a team to help me. The word “team” might make you think of Zoom meetings, rearranging schedules, and dull PowerPoint presentations. Thankfully, the team I’m building won’t do anything like that. I’m just asking for a favor that will take you less than 3 minutes (and for my fellow procrastinators, you can rest easy knowing that you won’t have to do it for at least a month).

But before we worry about what I’m asking of you, let’s look at what I’m offering you:

I'm convinced. Sign me up!

What you get:

1. Early Access

You'll be able to get the book If Students Had a Choice weeks before the general public.

2. Fire Sale Prices

You know how some companies charge you more if you want to pre-order something? I hate that, so I’m doing the opposite. Not only do team members get early access to the book, you’ll get it at the lowest price Amazon will let me sell it for. Less $1 for an eBook and less than $10 for a physical book. This is the only time the price of the book will be this low.

3. Behind-the-Scenes Exclusives

You’ll be the first to see potential cover ideas, hear my thoughts as I navigate the editing process, and more!

What I'll ask you to do:

1. Leave a Review

Leave a confirmed purchaser review on Amazon on day 1 of the book’s public launch. Obviously, I hope that you'll think the book earns a 5-star review, but all feedback is welcome. Telling your friends, family, and colleagues about the book is great, but a 5-star Amazon review is the best word of mouth you can give the book.

2.

…there is no second thing. All I ask is that you leave a review (hopefully 5-stars) on Amazon.

Advanced Praise

After more than 30 years teaching preservice and in-service mathematics teachers, I thoroughly enjoyed reading If Students Had a Choice. The book provides analogies and real-life classroom examples that reinforced my beliefs, gave me new ways to think about teaching, and even changed my mind on some topics. I believe any teacher can learn something from reading it.”

In 2017, he was named Teacher of the Year for his school and district. Today, he uses his expertise to help teachers unlock their highest teaching potential; not by throwing away what they've done in the past, but by refining their craft and focusing on what is truly important in education.
