About the Author
Marilee Adams Phd
Teaching that Changes Lives is Dr. Marilee Adams’s third book, expanding her innovative and practical work on questioning, mindsets, and thinking into the world of education. Her first book, The Art of the Question, is a behavioral-cognitive textbook which one eminent reviewer described as “a seminal and breakthrough contribution to the fi eld of psychotherapy.” Her second book, Change Your Questions, Change Your Life, applies the principles she has been developing over the past 25 years to coaching, business, and the challenges of organizations and change. It is an international bestseller, published in more than 16 languages. Though Marilee herself was never a K–12 teacher like the characters in this book, Teaching that Changes Lives was inspired by her lifetime love of learning and her deep respect for the vital role that educators play in all of our lives.
Marilee is the leading expert on Question Thinking™. A dedicated educator, coach, workshop facilitator and keynote speaker, she is an adjunct professor at American University, School of Public Affairs, teaching in the Key Executive Leadership Program. She has also been a guest lecturer at Teachers College at Columbia University and teaches the Learner Mindset System in a wide variety of organizational, educational, and public settings. Her workshops on Teaching and Thriving in Diffi cult Times and The Learner Mindset Advantage, as well as the conference she hosted on Education and the Inquiring Mindset, have attracted educators from throughout the United States as well as from Canada, mainland China and Singapore.
