Like a kaleidoscope, a classroom should be an ever changing scene that is made up of an infinite number of ever changing pieces. There is not just one “best” combination. There are a gazillion! Each turn of the tube creates a new arrangement whose pieces work together in harmony. Best of all, if the pieces do not seem to fit just right, they can be changed and re-arranged to create another scene.
In this collection of invaluable insight and wisdom from veteran teacher Lizzy Sutton, Classroom Kaleidoscope gives current and aspiring teachers many pieces to pick and choose from in order to create a pleasing array for their classroom. As teachers gain more experience, their compositions should become more complex and should "turn the tube" more often, constantly adding shiny pieces of “glass” to their creation. This book empowers teachers to get a head start on creating an environment conducive to learning that is not only challenging but also fun!
