Imagine that you and I step into an elevator together. Secured under my arm is a copy of my new book Teaching in Magenta. You notice the book and ask me about it.
Your question instantly makes me realize a couple of things:
This is a classic scenario for an elevator pitch.
I better make these next few seconds count before the doors open and you disappear.
So–I lay on you my elevator pitch for Teaching in Magenta:
This book provides 100 ways to CREATE a magnificent day in the classroom. Once you start stringing some Magenta Days together, you and your students will experience profound well-being and deep joy.
Thankfully, you receive my pitch positively and then inquire, “That sounds interesting. Why did you write it? Why is Magenta in the title? How does one teach in magenta?”
This podcast answers those questions.
I’m so excited to bring you this new book Teaching in Magenta. Over the next few weeks, I’ll do 5 short podcasts which detail paths directly from the book. I’m going to help you create 5 magnificent days in your classroom. But today, I’m going to lay some groundwork.
Today’s episode will:
Explain why I started writing books a decade ago.
How I got that book published.
Explain why I wrote Teaching in Magenta.
Describe Teaching in Magenta.
Please check out my book Teaching in Magenta. And if you’re not ready to hit the buy now button on Amazon, but you’re intrigued and you’re willing to listen more as we ride the elevator up a few more floors, check back soon and I’ll describe one path to create a magnificent day for you and your students.
