Kasey Bell’s book Shake Up Learning will be released on Wednesday, April 4, 2018, but I was granted early access to the book and wanted to share some key quotes that resonated with me using #Booksnaps. Shake Up Learning (the book, not to be confused with Kasey’s popular blog), is a three-part book that helps educators understand the why, what, and how behind shaking up education. Each chapter in #ShakeUpLearning starts with a quote and ends with discussion questions, actions, and space for reflection. Kasey helps educators understand how to shift classrooms from static to dynamic using the Dynamic Learning Framework which focuses on dynamic learning experiences. I’d recommend this book to any educator looking to transform teaching and learning. Part 1 The Why: It's Time to Shake Up Learning
