Frank Thoms writes with passion to invite principals and teachers
to make changes that will allow all students to succeed. In this
book he urges them to reconsider traditional practices in light of
today's media-driven culture and digitally wired students. Exciting
Classrooms is sensitive to the challenges schools face and is
relentless in offering strategies to meet these challenges. Schools
must do better. Rather than focus on improving test scores, this
book advocates that teachers teach to a child's whole symphony, not
only to one note. If students only learn to succeed on bubble
tests, they will not have opportunities to discover their true
potential. Thoms sees the teaching process as a joint venture
between teacher and student where the teacher brings learning to
the student and, at the same time, brings the student to the
learning. This process demands at least as much listening as
talking, a new habit that teachers and principals need to learn.
