Creating a Blockbuster Classroom
Lights, Cameras, TEACH!
a screenplay to spark ideas for a blockbuster classroom
Lights, Cameras, Teach - a screenplay to spark ideas for a blockbuster classroom plays off Kevin's experiences working in Hollywood by comparing the similarities between movie directors and classroom teachers. Just like a director of a blockbuster movie must engage, communicate, and collaborate with the actors, writers, stagehands, and producers, a classroom teacher must do the same but with their students, parents, colleagues, and administrators. The main ingredients in creating a blockbuster classroom are the relationships teachers form with their students and the experiences they make for them. When authentic relationships are created, anything is possible. Every chapter includes the perspectives of other blockbuster educators and insight from Kevin's former students. Additionally, anecdotes from Kevin's 19 years in the classroom are sprinkled throughout his book.
