Disruptive Thinking in Our Classrooms: Preparing Learners for Their Future

As the world continues to change at a frenetic pace there is finally a book available to guide educators through the storm. Eric Sheninger has crafted a masterpiece that speaks directly to the reader. Divided into four sections, the book clearly lays out the why, how, and what when it comes to developing students to think disruptively in a world that is impossible to predict. I Ioved this aspect! Too many books just emphasize the “why” and offer up opinions that are not backed by real examples. Sheninger essentially disrupts this common flaw and adds strength to the many points made with artifacts from the field. Whether you are a teacher, administrator, parent, or community leader….this book has to be at the top of your reading list.

It goes without saying that the world has changed tremendously since we have faced Covid, but have we made changes to our thinking? Do we look at education differently? What needs to change for the generations of students who we are preparing for a future we can't even conceptualize? Eric causes us to think in a progressive, disurptive manner - to really rethink and reshape our own mindset. And, by the way, Eric exceeds all expectations for resources. Tons of great things to use in your own practice!

In Disruptive Thinking in our Classrooms, Eric's blend of the strategic big picture thinking and the tactical actionable recommendations are spot on from my experiences first as a teacher, then a school and district administrator, and now in the private sector serving education. Whether you are wearing your teacher, administrator, consultant, lifelong learner, thought leader, or even your parent hat, this book is a great narrative to drive some reflection about the changes taking place in education.

I have read Eric's previous books and have seen him present many times. This book makes future-ready learning strategies available to any educator with examples that lead to immediate positive change. The idea of ensuring equity through personalization is embedded throughout the book, allowing each to fully support each student in every classroom. I highly recommend this book for anyone involved in educating children-teachers, leaders, parents, policy makers, etc.

During a global pandemic, Eric once again delivers and effectively challenges the traditional practices within education. He brings us forward to practical, research based best practices that prepare students for their future pathways. Educators can immediately implement his strategic approaches to teaching and learning while increasing student engagement and deepening levels of rigor. Don’t wait to purchase, it will change teaching and learning in your classrooms!

We studied this book as a faculty at Quest Academy. "All kids have greatness hidden inside them. It is the job of an educator to help find and unleash that greatness" one of my favorite quotes. I really enjoyed this book and thinking about how to improve my teaching to prepare my students for a changing world

I had the opportunity to read this book as part of a summer book club along with fellow music teachers. I learned so much from this book and am excited to apply it in the classroom this fall. Ty Eric Sheninger for thinking outside the book and writing this book. Highly recommend this book to all educators.

As an elementary principal, I want to do everything possible for our school to provide students with the best education to prepare them for successful futures. As evidenced by the scores of post-it notes marking my favorite passages this book offers great ways to authentically empower students & make learning relevant, engaging, authentic and lasting!

Es interesante porque hace un repaso pedagógico acerca de lo que podemos tener en cuenta y tiene buenas referencias aunque solo si no sabes nada de ello, a nivel introductorio de innovación educativa.
