Did you ever change your plans spontaneously, in the moment? For an entire group?

Have you ever felt frustrated that a learning or teaching experience wasn't working,

and wished it was different?

Did you ever ask your children or students what they wanted to learn

and put that at the center of their education?

The author did all these things and more with her students. Here she reveals her personal experiences, when and where these things occurred, and what she did in each situation. Laurie Block Spigel created environments and curriculum where child-led learning could flourish. Here she shares her journey, doubts, fears, surprises both good and bad, and the ultimate rewards that spring from game-based, personalized education.

Learn the author's Magic Formula that makes every class a satisfying experience.

Learn about games as problem solvers that open students' minds and help them face anything.

Create your own curriculum or use the curriculum in this book,

driven by questions and interests of students,

aimed at creative outcomes that invite individual expression.

Educators, parents and learners of all ages will be enlightened and inspired

by Letting Them Lead.
