Words on the Wall (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798989002764)

Seven years ago, Jimmy Casas published Culturize, a Washington Post best-seller designed to help educators envision their culture through the four core principles of being a Champion for Students, Expecting Excellence, Carrying the Banner, and being a Merchant of Hope. Now, Casas has teamed with Cale Birk to write Words on the Wall: Culturizing Your Classroom For Observable Impact, the highly anticipated sequel to Culturize that helps teachers and leaders go deeper to create a high-resolution picture of what it looks like and leads to when we truly Culturize our classrooms and schools.

Building a positive culture in our schools has never been more critical than it is today. Drawing on real-life stories, engaging narratives, thought-provoking questions, and practical research, Jimmy and Cale guide readers through a process to bring the four core principles of Culturize to life. Words on the Wall serves as a roadmap for moving beyond the posters, billboards, slogans, and acronyms that adorn our walls to concrete actions educators can take to make observable impacts in classrooms and throughout schools. Words on the Wall provides busy teachers and leaders with tools, ideas, and a differentiated approach for building culture at all levels in a way that is logical, practical, and observable.

Join the movement! Empower yourself and your school community to move beyond Words on the Wall to observable impact where it matters the most-

in every classroom, every day, for every student and every educator.
