N1  - ABSTRACT: Many of our greatest joys in life are related to our learning, but, unfortunately, most of that learning takes place outside of school. Educators can put more joy into the experience of going to school and get more joy out of working inside school by focusing on several essentials. Help students find pleasure in learning by giving them the freedom to explore what they love. Give students some choice in how they will go about their learning and how they will demonstrate their knowledge. Allow students to create original work, and show off that work. Give students and teachers time to tinker. Make school spaces inviting. Get students-and teachers-outside. Read good books. Offer more classes in gym and in the arts. Use more authentic assessments and student self-assessments. Get teachers, students, and administrators together from time to time to have some fun; 5
