As Michael Chellman sees his current and former students walking through campus, he has an unusual exchange that takes observers by surprise. "Good to see you," Chellman says. "Are you doing your work?" That seems routine until the student exclaims, "Never! I never do my work!"
Pull the student aside and you'll discover what's going on. "I never do my work," the student will explain, "because I LEARN my work. Big difference. It's the Green Mind!"
Michael Chellman is an award-winning teacher with over 30 years of experience in an array of schools: public, independent, co-ed, single gender. From tiny rural schools to one of the largest public school systems in the nation, Chellman has helped an array of students achieve more learning, less "doing," faster. "The worst advice ever," he claims, "is when we tell kids to 'work harder.' Learning is about working differently, working better."
Some secondary teachers don't want to teach 6th graders (too young). Some don't want to teach anyone in middle school. Some avoid high school freshmen. Others stay away from 12th graders in the spring (senior slump). Michael Chellman has taught them all, grades 6 through 12. And the message is the same, appropriately adapted: "Please don't do your work." From middle through high school, students can dive deep into their studies for learning that lasts.
For 10 years, Chellman was also the Editor and Publisher of the education journal, ClassWise, distributed internationally by subscription.

More learning, less doing, faster.
When it comes to learning, the mind governs everything. Everyone tells students of all ages, "You need to concentrate!" Rarely are students told how, exactly. Now, Michael Chellman, an award-winning teacher who has inspired young people from middle through high school, provides the proven methods students are desperate to hear.
A battle rages in your mind between the Gray Mind and the Green Mind. The Gray Mind is like fog, clouding your brain with distractions that cause you to doubt, criticize, and judge yourself. Working "Gray" is treading water in a shallow intellectual pond of disconnected facts, wasted time, and "fake studying." The Gray Mind is about "doing" the work.
The Green Mind is about growth, action, and hope. Green represents all that you can be, especially that part of you that can respond to any distraction with a plan. Action cures distraction. The Green Mind is like sunlight, clearing the Gray fog. Green says, "I control my success by working smarter and working differently, not by working harder.
Finally, a book that helps students develop intense focus through 19 proven methods culled from dozens and dozens of options. They will become your distraction shield. Here, at last, is specific guidance that goes beyond empty advice to "work harder" and "have grit." The Green Mind student asserts, "Focused is what I choose to become. I can get better at getting better." More learning, less doing. Faster.
