I am in the process of slowing down a bit, choosing to spend more time in our gardens than on the road. That said, I have been given the opportunity to write a second edition for one of my books, Shake-Up Call! The Need to Transform K-12 Classroom Methodology (2013) for Rowman & Littlefield. It should be available later this year.
Since 2007, it has been my pleasure to carry the messages of the interactive classroom to K-12 teachers and administrators. Many thanks to the superintendents, district and building administrators, and teachers who have supported my efforts on behalf of today’s students. It is absolutely essential that critical skills related to communication, collaboration, community, curiosity, and citizenship remain front and center in K-12 classrooms.
The book covers below will take you to one of these publishers: Corwin Press, InstructionalEmpowerment, or Rowman & Littlefield. Each of my books supports interactive classrooms at all levels. No lecture, video, or worksheet can replace a vibrant community of learners who have learned to communicate and collaborate with classmates. And this will pay dividends when today’s students enter the workforce as citizens in an equally vibrant democracy.
As we used to say back in the day, Rock On!

"The day I spent in Ron Nash's seminar in 2009 is one that changed my teaching career and helped me be the
teacher
I've always wanted to be. After 21 years as an educator, the strategies I learned from Ron transformed my
instructional
methods and energized my students into being excited, active learners."
