In this follow-up to Cultivating Genius, Dr. Gholdy Muhammad adds a fifth pursuit―joy―to her groundbreaking instructional model. She defines joy as more than celebration and happiness, but also as wellness, beauty, healing, and justice for oneself and across humanity. She shows how teaching from cultural and historical realities can enhance our efforts to cultivate identity, skills, intellect, criticality, and-indeed-joy for all students, giving them a powerful purpose to learn and contribute to the world. Dr. Muhammad's wise implementation advice is paired with model lessons and assessment tools that span subjects and grade levels.

A Better Version of Myself!
As a teacher, I am always looking for something to keep myself fresh for my students, and this book is doing just that! From the beginning, with a foreword by Pharrell Williams, I have been impressed! Mr. Williams compares his teachers to "a constellation". Beautiful! This book is a read for teachers who want to be a better version of themselves.

Find a better book.
The book lacks science backed research that would help its claims. Look for a better science backed book and not this fluff.
