"Creating passion-infused learning environments where students are allowed to discover and have learning opportunities beyond the classroom is a best-practice pedagogy that is slowly but surely finding its way into classrooms. Pernille Ripp is at the forefront of this movement. I hope educators will give this book a chance as it gives ALL students the opportunity to be the driving force behind their own education."—Joli Barker, 5th Grade Teacher, Press Elementary, McKinney, TX and Author of The Fearless Classroom

"All teachers gather "best practices," whether through training or time. But these techniques don't always work as planned. Pernille re-examines the common habits of the classroom and reveals new, more productive ways of cultivating passionate learners. From grades to school culture, she shows that nothing is free from critique when you fight for students."—Angela Maiers, Educator, Author, Founder of Choose2Matter

"This book is an excellent guide to transforming your classroom culture and letting students take ownership of their learning. Pernille Ripp offers practical tools that will help all educators create a positive and innovative learning environment for their students."—Todd Whitaker, Professor at Indiana State University, internationally-recognized education expert, and author of over 40 books, including What Connected Educators Do Differently
