Summer Reading List for Teachers
Every summer I try to make it priority to plan to read at least one PD book to help get me ready for back to school.
I also make a goal each summer to read at least one book just for fun, but this doesn’t always happen.
How do I decide what I’ll read?
The main way I decide which professional teaching book I’ll read is to look at the following:
- my teaching strategies
- the progress my students made
- what my students were still lacking
- what I was most worried about throughout the year
- newest trends in education
To restate, focus on teacher summer reads that will help your class to be better for next school year. Moving your yourself and your students forward is the big goal.
