Teach like your hair is on fire!

February 17, 2009 · No Comments

When I went to the Chicago Google Teacher Academy in September, my bag of goodies contained a book called “Teach like your hair is on fire”. I had carried it in my laptop bag for months thinking, “I ought to take a look at this.”

The thing that made me pick it up…and hardly put it down since…was the mass of Twitter messages coming from The Pennsylvania Educational Technology Expo and Conference (PETE&C) raving about the closing keynote speaker Rafe Esquith. I quick Googled the name and a link to the book I had been hauling around for months was the first hit.

After reading just a few pages, I could see what all of the excitement was about. Below is a story from The Today Show that takes you inside Room 56 and gives a bit of a glimpse into what makes Rafe such an exceptional teacher.

The book is available at Amazon with excerpts available for reading online.
