Ignite the Fire

A Classroom Culture of Meaning, Passion and Purpose

By Mary Ruth McGinn and Peggy Pastor

About the Book

Many educational practices have become so widely established and standardized that we have stopped questioning their efficacy. For learning to promote life-long growth, a shift in the institutional mindset of education nationwide is necessary. This book suggests a way of thinking about teaching that would interrupt the status quo.

Classroom climate and the learning process are inextricably interwoven. Fulfillment is dependent on both. Recognizing and implementing a healthy culture as an integral part of school has profound implications for the future of education.

Given the choice, we all would wish to be in a classroom where we are encouraged to do and to be our very best. Each of us has experienced various classroom cultures in our lives, some in which we have thrived, some completely unremarkable and others that affected us in profound ways we are still trying to comprehend and process as we age.
