Desciption

Eradicate Average! CULTURIZE Your School. Average schools don’t inspire greatness—and greatness is what our world needs if we are going to produce world-changing learners. 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 “soft skills” can be honed while meeting and exceeding academic standards of twenty-first-century learning. You’ll learn... * How to reach those who seem unreachable * What to do when students disengage or drop out of school * How to ensure your learners feel cared for and empowered * How to create an environment where all learners are challenged and inspired to be their best ______ “Jimmy Casas guides readers to understand that school culture must be a daily focal point for all school leaders.” —Beverly Hutton, Ed.D., Deputy Executive Director, National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) “No matter your title or profession, page after page of this book will inspire you.” —Kayla Delzer, CEO, Top Dog Teaching Inc. “Read this book to culturize your school and to live your excellence—every day.” —Thomas C. Murray, Director of Innovation, Future Ready Schools


Review

This book has a solid message: remain positive and work hard for every student. I can get behind that. But, the actual experience of reading this book is not entirely motivational. The writing is really lazy in many parts it cannot afford to be. As an English teacher, I was constantly thinking, "Where is your source?" Casas makes a lot of exciting claims, but fails to back them up with research, even though there are numerous writers that he could be citing. For example, Dweck's work on mindset and Brene Brown's work on vulnerability. He missed so many opportunities to strengthen his arguments! To me, it slashed his credibility and my investment in his message.
