Böcker av Jimmy Casas

In Stop. Right. Now. authors and education leaders Jimmy Casas and Jeffrey Zoul identify 39 practices, programs, processes, philosophies, and people problems that schools must eliminate in order to improve education for students-and the the entire school community. The status quo and average results are no longer acceptable! There are some "e;best practices"e; that we simply need to stop right now.

In Culturize, author and education leader Jimmy Casas shares insights into what it takes to cultivate a community of learners who embody the innately human traits our world desperately needs, such as kindness, honesty, and compassion. His stories reveal how these "e;soft skills"e; can be honed while meeting and exceeding academic standards of twenty-first-century learning.

Jimmy Casas's positive thoughts about education shared in his bestselling books Culturize and Live Your Excellence have influenced educators around the world. After writing and speaking about all aspects of education for several years, Casas began sharing a daily Thought for the Day across various social media platforms. These daily thoughts resonated with a wide audience, leading him to eventually publish a selection of 365 such thoughts in the book Daily Inspiration for Educators: Positive Thoughts for Every Day of the Year. As a result of the popularity of that book as well as positive encouragement from readers, Casas collected 365 of his additional messages of wisdom and inspiration for this new book, Volume II of Daily Inspiration. Much like the first book, this volume is filled with timeless messages that will challenge you, validate the work you do, and provide hope when you most need it. Our work as educators is rewarding; it is also challenging, requiring us to be at the top of our game every day. This book is designed to do just that: help you bring your best self to school every day!
