Room N-9 Is Finally Available!!

After years of waiting, Room N-9, Lessons of Life from Behind the Classroom Door, is now available to the public! Veteran public-school educator, Larry Shurilla, opens his classroom door and gives you a front row seat. With stories of students honoring veterans, kids helping kids, teacher pranks, the learning and emotionally disabled, classroom lockdowns, school violence, the growth of student athletes, and the haunting specter of a student’s death, Mr. Shurilla uses self-deprecating wit and wisdom garnered from thirty-one years of public-school classroom experience to wield a wide brush when painting the transforming scene of public education.

Mr. Shurilla has said, “Being a classroom teacher is a front-line occupation and some of my stories are raw, because they’re real and some of them are beautiful, because the human spirit cannot be suppressed. You’ll have a hard time believing some of these events actually occurred, but I assure you, they did.”

Like the dedication of Room N-9 suggests, “For the joy we see in those faces we teach each day and the hope we won’t see certain faces at night,” Mr. Shurilla uses humor and descriptive storytelling to share with us his greatest lessons of life learned from the noblest of professions-teaching!

PRAISE FOR THE AUTHOR OF ROOM N-9

“Larry’s ability to uncover broadly applicable insights from a school environment, coupled with his compelling writing style–– simple yet pro- found; with both pathos and humor, and all in between––will grab the attention of anyone from one aspiring to teach, an incumbent teacher, a student, a school principle, a house-wife, a businessman, and even to a corporate president. “
—Dr. D. H. (Dee) Groberg, Founder and Vice President of International Operations at Franklin-Covey Consultants

“You brought to life the middle school classrooms and life of these young people. You also give such an honest picture of being a teacher for many years. This is a valuable read for any current teacher, but also important for any future educator to read and comprehend. I have to say there was great emotion in ‘Uncle Larry’ and in the ‘Flying Tank.’”
—Dr. Keith Marty, Superintendent Parkway School District, St. Louis, Missouri

“I’ve known Larry Shurilla for over 30 years and whenever I get to- gether with him I can always count on hearing a great story. I was excited to finally read Larry’s classroom and coaching stories as well as his teacher escapades in the middle school where I once held a basketball clinic with his 6th grade classes. Larry has the ability to turn a walk down the canned food aisle of a grocery store into a memorable and classic story.”
—Fred Roberts, 12-year NBA Veteran and Educator

“A must read for anyone in the world of education. Room N-9: Lessons of Life From Behind the Classroom Door will have you running the gamut of emotions from pure laughter and joy to gratitude and compassion for all that is the profession of teaching. A truly rare peak at the rollercoaster ride that is education and the amazing impact a teacher can have on so many.”
—Cathy Kaiser-Drago, K-12 Instructional Coach, Hamilton School District, Sussex, Wisconsin
