The Courage to Teach by Parker Palmer
¤This book is great for beginning and veteran teachers. It reminds us of why we do what we do every day. I think every teacher can find something to relate to in this book.
The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff
¤I recommend this book because I believe that every Early Childhood or Elementary school teacher should have some Pooh in their life!
Teaching With Love & Logic by Jim Fay & David Funk
¤This book has some really fabulous ideas for how to create a caring enivronment in the classroom and how to deal with students you may be having issues with.
The Shame of the Nation by Jonathan Kozol
¤ Not only does Jonathan Kozol offer some eye opening stories and facts about the state of many schools in the U.S., he is also a very good writer and his books are easy to read. I haven't finished this one yet, but with what I have read thus far I can recommend it!
