Perhaps the way to get more people to read about TheThirdTeacherPlus.com is to write to principals who have engaged in innovative practices that are described in Littky's book, such as offering a flexible classroom

Bradbeer is an assistant principal at Stonefields School.
Key point: The students talk about "breakthrough" and the importance of being confused and "in the pit."

Key point: The Third Teacher is the wall. What goes on your classroom walls? How often do the posters change?
Anne Knock at a private school north of Sydney gave me a tour of the school, and introduced me to the term "The Third Teacher" (Parents = #1, Teachers = #2, The walls and the environment = #3)
These thoughts come to mind when I read the following paragraph from a letter to alumni written by the current head of school, Fran Bisselle.
A committee of educators, school administrators and board members spent several months researching academic environment best practices for academic environments and they looked to forward-thinking secondary schools, colleges, universities and business firms for inspiration for the model classroom.
The model classroom is a bright and inviting space that encourages collaboration All of the furnishings are easily moveable lending themselves to an endless array of configurations. vastly expanding the number and type of lessons, pedagogies and activities that can be enacted. There is no clearly delineated front of the room, and whiteboard paint has been applied to the majority of the wall space for write-on, wipe-off capabilities. The room feature several flat screen touch monitors that connect to the Internet and allow for real-time screen sharing so that student and faculty devices may be displayed simultaneously.
Well, after reading that description, I want to update my article on Chronically Curious. I want to visit any teaching space that has extra whiteboards for students to write on.
Here are some suggestions about what could go on the walls, too, to assist with the learning. FREE POSTERS from Dr. Fischler www.TINYURL.com/FischlerPosters

The model classroom? Wow. Go to Auckland and Sydney and you'll see the modern classroom that's 5 years old. I visited in 2013 and those schools perhaps have elaborated on those innovations.

What goes on the walls of the model classroom? Posters.
Posters that drive students to learn from the most annoying man on YouTube. Here are some links to Tai Lopez and his reading videos.
See a video by Tai where he lays out how to get an online business started.
Amen: See the info about "ANTs and ANTeaters"
In fact, there are 5 posters that should be on the walls. The ebook "Five Posters" is available for free download TINYURL.com/Sun5posters
I hope you will read more about Hathaway Brown school. Visit their website and learn about the Global Citizenship program. The school has an eye-catching tagline, too:
If your time at school is a story, then who’s writing it?
At Hathaway Brown, the answer is simple and profound: you’re in charge.
