Some people say hope is not a strategy. But I think they might be wrong.

BOOKS

All of Brad's books are built on the belief that everything we do in education starts with relationships and connection. They feature practical tools, relevant research, and stories that will inspire you to make a difference.

Brad's newest book, Overcoming Education is helping educators navigate complex challenges, difficult people, and adaptive change. Check out the free book study guide and video resources from Brad on this website. The 6 Literacy Levers is the perfect companion to ensure your school's Science of Reading implementation also motivates students to want to read. Reclaiming Our Calling will help you hold on to the heart, mind, and hope of this work we get to do. Renegade Leadership is a best-seller with Corwin Press. It outlines a powerful pedagogy called the Renegade C.O.D.E. and contains an entire chapter devoted to leading Personalized PD.
