Get a Vocabulary Upgrade with Word Shift

Does it feel as if students, colleagues, or administrators are making your school year difficult? Do negative thoughts cloud your day? Maybe it’s time to shift your thinking.

The language we’ve been exposed to and the words we use when we talk about others (and ourselves) all have an impact on the way we view the world and the people in it. More importantly, as educators, what we say shapes the way our learners think about themselves and their place in the world.

If you want less negativity and more positivity in your life, classroom, and school, start by changing the words you use each day. Make your language match what you really want to believe and what you really want to happen. With Word Shift by Joy Kirr, you’ll never be at a loss for just the right positive word.
Words matter. Choose yours wisely.
“Joy Kirr's book, Word Shift, is an important book for all educators because it draws attention to both the potential harm and benefit of labels, especially when we apply them to students.”
—Jimmy Casas, educator, author, speaker, leadership coach

“I highly recommend this book and can’t wait to participate in the ensuing conversations that it will, no doubt, spark within our community.”
—Sarah Thomas, PhD, founder, EduMatch

“Word Shift is just what every educator and parent needs on their bookshelves to pull out when wondering what and how to say something with their children.”
—Barbara Bray, creative learning strategist, author
