Lights, Cameras, TEACH!

a screenplay for engagement, culture, and relationships

 

Lights, Cameras, Teach! - a screenplay for engagement, culture, and relationships plays off Kevin's experiences teaching in Hollywood by comparing the similarities between movie directors and classroom teachers. Just like directors of blockbuster movies engage, communicate, and collaborate with the actors, writers, set designers, stagehands, and producers, classroom teachers must do the same 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. Throughout the book, Kevin shares a how-to playbook on his favorite lesson ideas, academic games, and resources, including dips for differentiation and ELL support.  Kevin also includes anecdotes from his two decades as an educator.

 

Lights, Cameras, Teach! includes the voices of Kevin's former students as well as the perspectives and insights from educators from around the United States. Kevin also addresses the need for educational reform in the United States and lessons learned from teaching during a global pandemic and hopes his words help reignite the passion(s) of educators. Available NOW on Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Target.
