“My mission is teacher empowerment through equipping K-12
educators with the tools to create engaging and relevant learning
experiences without the need to wait for the school’s adoption of
new systems,” said Amy Mayer, author of Beyond Worksheets. “This
book serves to provide tangible tools, pedagogical practices and
instructional design to cultivate a dynamic classroom culture in a
technology-driven environment, ultimately improving the work-life
balance of all teachers.”
Beyond Worksheets serves as a strategic roadmap for educators
seeking teacher professional development to adapt their teaching
methodologies to address differentiated instruction, foster
increased student participation, deepen learning across the
curriculum and enhance student engagement. Providing teachers with
a self-paced resource for K-12 education, the book draws on the
latest research, actionable student-centered teaching approaches,
equitable education practices and existing education technology.
Drawing from her extensive experience as an educator, Mayer offers
relatable anecdotes and provides access to templates and
project-based learning strategies that any educator will enjoy and
be able to employ.

experience and stories into deeply practical tips and strategies
for fellow educators,” said Scott McLeod, Professor of Educational
Leadership, University of Colorado-Denver, and founder and author
of the blog, Dangerously Irrelevant. “Beyond Worksheets is full of
reflection opportunities, activities and action steps that will
help any teacher lean into the instructional challenges that we
commonly face in schools.”
