About this listen

The Wild Card is your step-by-step guide to experiencing a creative breakthrough in your classroom with your students.

"This book is a teacher wonderland of ideas, inspiration, and mind-blowing magic." - Ron Clark, The New York Times best-selling author and cofounder, Ron Clark Academy.

In this audiobook, Wade and Hope King show you how to draw on your authentic self - your past experiences, personality quirks, interests, hobbies, and strengths - to deliver your content creatively. If you are a high school teacher or a kindergarten teacher, the seven steps in The Wild Card will give you the knowledge and the confidence to bring creative teaching strategies into your classroom.

You'll learn:

  • Why the deck is not stacked against you, no matter what kind of hand you've been dealt
  • Why you should never listen to the Joker
  • How to identify the "Ace up your sleeve" and use it to create classroom magic
  • How to apply the "Rules of Rigor" in order to fuse creativity with learning
  • How to become the "Wild Card" that changes the game for your students

Lots of great ideas and tips - it is everything that you would expect to hear from these incredible educators. This is a book that you want to listen to more than once or you want to have a hard copy to go back to. Highly recommend!

Just What You Would Expect From The Kings

I had the opportunity to read this book as part of a PD book study while I was interning and I absolutely loved it. At first it may seem uncomfortable, as it is urging you out of your comfort zone and urging you to take chances, but it feels great making engaging and educational experiences for your students! It helped my supervisoring teacher and myself take a chance and do a small room transformation and even dress up in period clothes for our introduction to Westward Expansion. The students and us enjoyed all the fun and unique ways we were able to learn, as a result of taking a chance...with the help of a big push from this book!

I loved this book. This is my first year going into education, and I had no idea of what to think. Through reading this book and working on my Alternative Teacher Certification, I have so many ideas of things I want to implement and I know it will take time but I am looking forward to being in education more than I ever have before!!!

Amazing things to think about!!!

I was able to truly reflect on my teaching as I read this book. I don't do change easily however, their results motivated me to take the book seriously. I will be implementing more creativity into my classroom this coming up school year.
