Putting Out Fires

A Framework for Solving Problems in Your Classroom or School

Kaylah Holland,

About this book

This practical, interactive guide provides a framework for educators to solve a variety of problems they face by leveraging design thinking to evaluate potential solutions.

Many educators say they spend much of the school day tackling one problem after another, making them feel like they’re constantly “putting out fires.” This book will help educators solve problems using the author’s “Putting Out Fires Framework,” which demonstrates how sorting possible solutions – into Extinguish, Detect, Contain and Prevent categories – can help teachers and administrators think through the impact of various solutions and make a more informed decision before implementing a solution.

In this interactive book, readers will apply a design thinking process to identify a problem, consider the people involved and analyze possible solutions. Each chapter features two example problems related to edtech – one for classroom teachers and one for administrators – to illustrate how to apply the framework for effective problem-solving. In the process of working through the book, you’ll discover how selecting the best solution is dependent on several variables, including impact, outcome and the people involved.

This book:

Introduces a unique problem-solving framework to help educators address challenges in an effective and efficient way.
Provides educators with practical tools for solving problems to create an environment that meets the needs of all students – from general education classrooms to secure schools.
Offers a highly interactive approach, with a workbook component in each chapter that readers can complete to learn how to address a range of problems.

Follow along as Holland provides deep insights and surefire strategies gleaned from years of experience working in the most diverse and restrictive classroom settings across the U.S.

AUDIENCE
