"Moving away from worksheets is not about discarding all structure; Amy does a great job of explaining this, instead she talks about creating a learning environment that fosters collaboration, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving."
―Kevin Hodges, Texas, K12 LCS Lead, Google for Education

SCHOOLING IS DEAD, LONG LIVE SCHOOLING

Education today is not what it was when we were in school. Many teachers, both new and experienced, fall into the trap of lamenting this fact and longing for the "good old days." Beyond Worksheets empowers K-12 teachers to make learning fun, engaging, and relevant using the latest research, actionable classroom strategies, and the ed tech software and systems (including generative AI tools) they already have. Used correctly, these tools let you deepen learning, increase student engagement, and promote student participation.

As a former teacher, author Amy Minter Mayer knows that, regardless of schoolwide initiatives and rollouts, it's what happens behind the closed doors of a classroom that affects the teacher's success. She wrote Beyond Worksheets as a self-paced guide that empowers teachers, without necessarily waiting for school-wide adoption of new tools.
