My sister works at a charter school in East Texas - all male students and a pretty tough population. She has worked her way up from teacher to administrator and now she's looking to inspire and educate her staff with a book study. I put a call out to my Twitter peeps and had some good responses. Below are my top 10 recommendations (in no certain order) for staff book studies - some of my own and some from the Twitterverse and beyond. What books have you read that you would recommend??
- What Great Teachers Do Differently by Todd Whitaker
- The End of Molasses Classes by Ron Clark
- Readicide by Kelly Gallagher
- A Whole New Mind by Daniel Pink
- Educating Esme by Esme Raji Codell
- Teaching Outside the Box by LouAnn Johnson
- Teach Like Your Hair's On Fire by Rafe Esquith
- Letters to a Young Teacher by Jonathan Kozol
- Five Minds for the Future by Howard Gardner
- The Courage to Teach by Parker Palmer
