Professional Growth
adolescent LITERACY Turning Promise into Practice, Kylene Beers, Robert E. Probst, and Linda Rief, editors. Top literacy leaders speak out together. So far, this is the most phenomenal book I have read on the topic. A must-read for secondary teachers. Powerful.
Classroom Instruction that Works - Research-Based Strategies For Increasing Student Achievement by Robert J. Marzano, Debra J. Pickering, and Jane E. Pollock. Realizing as I read how my classroom was truly a place of learning. Now I have the research to back up much of what I did. Hooray.
The Speed of Trust - The One Thing That Changes Everything by Stephen M.R. Covey. Much-needed re-read right now in my life, personally and professionally. Every organization that serves people, especially children, could only be so lucky as to have a leader who makes this book required reading for all.
A New Earth - Awakening to Your Life's Purpose by Eckhart Tolle. Just curious. So far, while I don't agree with everything spiritually, I do agree with the fundamental human aspects psychologically and emotionally speaking. Tolle has some great things to share about humans and their nature. (I was very curious.)
Dinner with a Perfect Stranger - An Invitation Worth Considering by David Gregory.
Genius DENIED - How To Stop Wasting Our Brightest Young Minds by Jan and Bob Davidson with Laura Vanderkam. Multiple gifted personalities in the family. Extra support required!
Just For Fun
Change of Heart, by Jodi Picoult. Have read every one of her books... except this one.
Sahara Special, by Esme Raji Codell. My first read of Codell's youth fiction. Just picked it up today, special-order!
