Hey everybody! I hope your doing well this week! While I'm certainly appreciating the warmth of summer and giving my mind somewhat of a break, I still like to take opportunities to catch up on books and articles that I find informative. In this week's post I wanted to share a few books that I think are great for helping you improve your practice as educators at various grade levels. If you are a parent reading this week's post, then I encourage you to consider adding these books to your collection of resources when thinking about the transformational approach that education has taken in the 21st Century.
