In this book, Wade and Hope King show you how to draw on your authentic self--your past experiences, personality quirks, interests, hobbies, and strengths--to deliver your content creatively. If you are a high school teacher or a kindergarten teacher, the seven steps in this book will give you the knowledge and the confidence to bring creative teaching strategies into your classroom. You\'ll learn why the deck is not stacked against you, no matter what kind of hand you\'ve been dealt; why you should never listen to the Joker; how to identify the "Ace up your sleeve" and use it to create classroom magic; how to apply the "Rules of Rigor" in order to fuse creativity with learning; and how to become the Wild Card that changes the game for your students.
