“I love the way Tanya grapples with the key issues and challenges facing educators and parents today. Two things make this book valuable: her sincerity and the many examples from her experience as founder and teacher at Up Academy.”
— Thom Markham, PhD, Founder of PBL Global
“Rebel Educator shows what it means to be project based and student centered with young learners. In my career leading the Palo Alto High School journalism program, I worked to empower young people to use their voices, own their choices, and harness responsibility. This book uses real classroom examples to show educators how to do that from a young age. Rebel Educator embodies all the elements of TRICK. Use it to create an environment of trust, respect, independence, collaboration, and kindness in any classroom.”
— Esther Wojcicki, Journalist, Educator, Author, and Founder and CEO Global Moonshots in Education
“Tanya Sheckley asks educators to reimagine modern learning. And in The Rebel Educator, she gives them the paradigm shift and roadmap to do it. Whether she's sharing her own unorthodox journey to education, telling her hilarious and heartbreaking stories from parenting, or providing insight into how her school, Up Academy, creates its inclusive, project-based curriculum, The Rebel Educator equips its readers with the knowledge and tools to differentiate classroom learning and create a culture where all students feel worthy and thrive.”
