Discription:
In March of 2020, when the world was struck by COVID-19, Glen Coleman's high school in New
Jersey became one of the thousand schools nationwide that were forced to pivot to online
instruction. While so much about this new reality was unknown, Glen was certain of two things:1)
The year ahead would be an epic disruption.2) He would write a book to help his fellow teachers
not just survive but thrive.The result of his year-long effort is 100 or Nothing: Reimagining Success
in the Classroom. Part memoir, part field guide, and part toolbox for the disheartened, Glen builds
upon his extensive experience and exhaustive research during the most consequential year of our
lifetime. As an educator who understood the need to exploit the power of digital technology with
the introduction of laptops in the classroom in 2006, Glen reinvented his teaching. He now
harnesses failure, teaches from the back of the classroom, puts students at the front of the
classroom, and challenges them with &#8220imossible&#8221tests. With critical thinking as the
goal, students workshop their responses to difficult questions in order to connect the classroom to
the outside world. Readers will come to understand the need to think outside the box. When we
create a system in which students learn from and support one another &#8220alboats
rise.&#8221Gln&#8217book is a must-read for anyone who wants to reclaim their love for
teaching. It&#8217also a manual for rethinking basic approaches. He is honest in his outlook,
compelling in his insights, and creative in his use of technology.&#8221- Bill Librera, former NJ
Commissioner of Education. &#8220Gln has leveraged his 20-plus years of experience in the
classroom, his innovations as an HP Teaching Fellow, and his epiphanies during COVID to craft
compelling new teaching strategies that have applications far beyond the classroom. His insights
that students fail their way to mastery, learn best collaboratively, and motivate each other to
success are just as relevant for startups as they are for students: 100 or Nothing should be on
every entrepreneur&#8217desk.&#8221- Tony Coretto, NYSERDA Entrepreneur-in-Residence
and 4-time Inc 5000 award-winning CEOTeaching&#8217been around since the dawn of
civilization, so it&#8217quite a feat to break new ground in pedagogy, yet Coleman seems to have
done just that. His solutions to common classroom situations are innovative, and the evidence he
presents to back up his points is persuasive. As someone who spent two decades in classrooms
of one sort or another, I highly recommend his book to anyone ready for a fresh take on teaching. -
Vincent Czyz, W. Faulkner-@. Wisdom Prize Winner for Short FictionExcerptsI believe to ask is
human, to pursue, divine. Great questions have the power to open minds, especially when we
stop, listen, and engage in conversation with our students... Yes, I feel the stress of a society
whose ties are fraying, but the question &#8220Wht do you think?&#8221still has the power to
awaken young people. If we&#8217vebecome robots, perhaps a surviving corpuscle will remind
our circuitry of when we were human: teaching meant deepening human bonds with course
material, especially with young people. But if you&#8217rehankering to teach has not yet been
crushed&#8212ma it never!&#8212le this book spark your reinvention. Page 9I try to instill in my
students that learning requires not perfection but failure, not depression but a sense of humor.
Learning checkmates everyone. Laugh. Try again. Finding the strength to get back up is the
lesson. Page 14It&#8217not about the answer.It&#8217not about the grade.It&#8217not about
technology.It&#8217about students&#8217voices, the challenge, and what results. Page 99
