"Make Learning Magical by Tisha Richmond is the book I have been waiting for. The passion, innovation, and love for teaching and inspiring her students is so very evident from the introduction to the final pages. Tisha offers fun and easy-to-implement ideas no matter what subject or grade you teach. I guarantee you will be walking through the wardrobe and into Narnia for many years and lessons to come. Enjoy this book immensely; I sure did!"--Adam Welcome, educator, author of Run Like a Pirate, & coauthor of Kids Deserve It!
J.K. Rowling says, 'Something magical happens when you read a good book.' From page one, Tisha Richmond brings the reader into her classroom to show us many recipes for how to transform our classrooms into places of whimsy and fun. While I loved reading about her culinary arts students and the various challenges in which Tisha engages her students, I also appreciated her sharing her own personal learning journey. I found myself taking copious notes and forming brainstorming ideas to create my own classroom magic, as Tisha shares so many creative and practical examples and ideas which can easily be applied to any context. This book is a must-read for educators in any role, teaching any subject!"
