Building on the success of her classic, bestselling book, Change Your Questions, Change Your Life (over 100,000 copies sold), Marilee Adams shows in this new book how teachers and other education professionals can change their own and their students’ lives by developing an active, inquiring mindset and igniting a lifelong love of learning.Building on the success of her classic, bestselling book, Change Your Questions, Change Your Life, Marilee Adams shows how, by adopting a new mindset, teachers can rekindle their love of teaching and ignite their students with a love of learning.Teaching That Changes Lives is a transformational and practical guide that will enable teachers to make an authentic difference with their students and avoid succumbing to the myriad pressures and challenges of their jobs. Using the storytelling format that proved so successful in her previous book, Adams tells how Emma, a sixth-grade teacher on the verge of quitting her job, learns to cultivate what Adams calls the “Learner Mindset”— having the discipline, curiosity, and courage to consistently ask growth-oriented, open-minded questions of oneself and others—and to avoid the close-minded and critical “Judger Mindset.” Emma transforms her classroom, her relationships with her colleagues, and, most importantly, her students' eagerness for learning and achievement. Teaching is more than imparting facts and skills—it's preparing students for the test of life. Featuring an innovative, easy-to-follow workbook and access to a Learner Mindset online mini-course, this inspiring book will ensure that teachers and students alike become creative, resilient problem solvers, bridge builders, and lifelong learners.ForewordIntroduction: Mindsets for LearningChapter 1: The Alchemy of InquiryChapter 2: Mindsets Make All the DifferenceChapter 3: Mapping the Geography of Our MindsChapter 4: Exploring Learner and Judger MindsetsChapter 5: Thinking with New QuestionsChapter 6: Listening with Learner Ears Chapter 7: Questions Out of the Box Chapter 8: Easy as ABCDChapter 9: Becoming a Resilient LearnerChapter 10: Questioning AssumptionsChapter 11: Surprising Collaborators Chapter 12: Opening to New PossibilitiesChapter 13: Staff Meeting ShowdownChapter 14: The Question that Changes Everything Epilogue: The Five QuestionsWorkbook with Mindset ToolsLearner Mindset Online LearningNotesAcknowledgmentsAbout the AuthorAbout the Inquiry Institute
