She is the author of Passionate Readers -The Art of Reaching and Engaging Every Child and Passionate Learners – How to Engage and Empower Your Students, now in its second edition, and Empowered Schools, Empowered Students, both focusing on creating learning spaces and communities where students thrive and all stakeholders are empowered and passionate about learning.

Pernille’s current research interest is in creating passionate literacy environments within the restriction of our current educational systems to helping students fall in love with literacy again. She uses her own classroom as a laboratory, as well as learns from the many educators she works with across the world.
From Pernille: "Since I was a child growing up in Bjerringbro, Denmark, I knew I wanted to work with children and somehow help them become the person they envisioned. In January of 2008 I took my first step in making a difference by becoming a math resource teacher and then transitioned into the classroom as a full-time general educator teaching 4th and 5th grade. Now I have found my home as 7th grade English teacher in the phenomenal Oregon school district here in Wisconsin. There is nowhere else I would rather be every day than in the classroom."
