Your Teacher Summer Reading List – 2018 |
posted by: Melissa | July 17, 2018, 08:11 PM |
People who don’t teach, sometimes make snide comments about educators having the summer off. They have little understanding of the hectic pace of the school year and how little time there is for teachers to actually pause and reflect on their teaching techniques or explore new methods. In this whirlwind environment, the summer is a necessity. It allows teachers the time they need to catch their breath, do some personal reflection and assessment and find out what is new in the field of education. And for the teacher who is unsatisfied with the way they’ve been doing something – it’s the perfect time to change course and try something new. An integral part of this process is reading. Educators are some of the most prolific readers and each year brings a bevy of new books aimed at helping us reframe our work and inspire us with new ideas. Many of these books are written by teachers. They include everything from inspirational stories and “ah-ha moments” to gritty manuals on how to handle day to day situations. Predictably, some of these books will resonate more than others. So, which books should you crack open this summer? Our selection below contains books released in the past year or so. Each one has been making waves in the education world because of the issues they delve into or the new and innovative ideas they contain. Whichever ones you choose, we hope these books will help you stretch, grow, and look at the world in a new light. Enjoy!
