This course is designed to provide educators with an opportunity to engage in an independent Book Study of Dave Burgess’s- Teach Like a Pirate. In the book, Burgess offers inspiration, practical techniques, and innovative ideas that will help educators to increase student engagement, boost creativity, and transform life as an educator. Book topics include:

  • Increase career satisfaction
  • Create engaging lessons
  • Establish rapport and a sense of camaraderie in the classroom

To earn course credit, read the book and engage in one of three assignment choices to share your learning. Book studies allow you to read engaging researched-based books and consider how to incorporate the concepts into your own practice. A great approach to the course is to form a PLC with your peers so that you can collaborate as a group.  Discussion options are also part of the classroom so that you can discuss your learning with teachers from all over the world.

The course is targeted for educators in the K-12 grade levels, including special education, counselors, administration, sports coaches, and instructional coaches. Parents will also find this course helpful.
