Lean Think

Revolutionizing Education by Doing Less

Do less and get more! This revolutionary approach to education marries tried-and-true success principles from Lean Manufacturing to classroom practices. Students perform better and teachers work less. The book models the quality and efficiency of Lean Think in schools, so education personnel learn how to optimize student learning within contract time. The driving question, “Does this add value?” emboldens educators to remove waste and sharpen processes across multiple areas in education that affect student learning.

Developed by Julie Laub, a master teacher and Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, Lean Think has been applied successfully at the state, district, and local levels, resulting in measurable student improvement and increased teacher job satisfaction.

Must have for teachers!

Lean think is about clearing the waste of a classroom and, in other words, cutting out the fat of education and teaching what matters. Simplify the content so it is balanced throughout the year as far as the workload for the kids. This book totally inspires me to be a better teacher. It covers various topics from a lean classroom setup, a lean curriculum, and much more. I couldn't stop listening to this book as I finished it in one day.
The author Julie Laub makes this book relatable regardless of the topic you teach. She is a remarkable author, as this book inspired me to make adjustments to how I teach. I highly recommend this book to any teacher.
