The Professional Development books I am requesting will enable me to create and foster a Math-learning environment that supports active engagement. These books will aid me in developing a Growth Mindset for my students, so that they can improve their stamina, motivation and willingness to keep trying and never give up. It will also give me many new ideas in hands-on learning of Math instruction, so that I can continue to actively engage my students. Active engagement and hands-on learning is the best way to understand and foster Math development in children.
