Michael Chellman
As Michael Chellman sees his current and former students walking through campus, he has an unusual exchange that takes observers by surprise. "Good to see you," Chellman says. "Are you doing your work?" That seems routine until the student exclaims, "Never! I never do my work!" Pull the student aside and you'll discover what's going on. "I never do my work," the student will explain, "because I LEARN my work. Big difference. It's the Green Mind!" Michael Chellman is an award-winning teacher with over 30 years of experience in an array of schools: public, independent, co-ed, single gender. From tiny rural schools to one of the largest public school systems in the nation, Chellman has helped an array of students achieve more learning, less "doing," faster. "The worst advice ever," he claims, "is when we tell kids to 'work harder.' Learning is about working differently, working better." Some secondary teachers don't want to teach 6th graders (too young). Some don't want to teach anyone in middle school. Some avoid high school freshmen. Others stay away from 12th graders in the spring (senior slump). Michael Chellman has taught them all, grades 6 through 12. And the message is the same, appropriately adapted: "Please don't do your work." From middle through high school, students can dive deep into their studies for learning that lasts. For 10 years, Chellman was also the Editor and Publisher of the education journal, ClassWise, distributed internationally by subscription.
