About Ditch That Textbook


We can do better than marching
chapter by chapter through a textbook.

In his own classes, Matt Miller found that textbooks were more an obstacle to learning than a help. He ditched them. For years, he's learned what works better than traditional "textbook" teaching and shared those ideas widely. His workshops and keynote speeches empower, entertain and inspire teachers to move forward confidently.

@jmattmiller @Birdvillenest Wow! Today was so inspiring and encouraging! If it's worth trying, it's worth revising. I feel you on an English teacher level, but that was so deep pedagogically speaking. Preach on! #12DaySummit
