It’s Only Ever about the Students
In today’s educational climate of budget shortages, rigid testing standards, and diminishing autonomy in the classroom, how can teachers bring creativity and passion back into their work? Teach Your Class Off offers educators struggling with these issues and feeling burnt out a way to hit the reset button and reconnect with what energizes them about teaching.
CJ Reynolds, well-known to the 45,000 subscribers to his YouTube channel, Real Rap with Reynolds, breaks down his methods for learning to teach outside your comfort zone, bringing real-world experiences into your students’ lives, using DJ skills to manage the classroom, and finding a way to make magic in your class despite diminishing resources. The refreshing honesty of Reynolds’s perspective coupled with his infectious optimism make this a great go-to for any teacher looking for much-needed inspiration.
Teach Your Class Off is spoken truth meets slam poetry meets education. Just like Reynolds, this book is real, authentic, and relevant. I couldn’t put it down! —HAMISH BREWER, AUTHOR OF RELENTLESS
Teach Your Class Off is like no other book you’ve ever read, and I guarantee you’re going to learn new strategies, laugh, and probably even cry at some of the stories. Ten thumbs up! —ADAM WELCOME, EDUCATOR, AUTHOR, SPEAKER, CONSULTANT
There are two types of teachers: those who simply transmit information and those who facilitate transformation. CJ Reynolds is the latter. He understands the importance of reaching the mind through the heart.—DR. DHARIUS DANIELS, AUTHOR OF RELATIONAL INTELLIGENCE, LEAD PASTOR, CHANGE CHURCH
