WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS… Unlike Nevada’s slogan of “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, this book reminds us that what happens in the classroom, should never stay within the classroom! It spotlights a unique relationship between a forward-thinking teacher and a future-focused district administrator. By going “all in” with their relationship and creating an opportunity for chance, risk-taking, and rolling of the dice, they have begun to fuel change within their school district and extend learning beyond their very own walls. Are you ready to bet on education? Are you ready to take a chance on what’s best for every child? Are you willing to be the risk-taker? Are you ALL IN? It is time to gamble and take a bet on YOU in order to create the invaluable change needed in education! This book describes 27 Bets that need to be made for the betterment of every child. Following each Bet, is a Jackpot filled with important takeaways that you can put into action today! In addition, the Double Down will challenge you to create changes of epic proportion for your students, colleagues, community, and you! With a professional learning network built on change agents in education, ANTE UP affords you the opportunity to see how other educators from around the globe have raised the bar for all kids!
