My Project

I want to continue to improve my teaching skills.

These professional development books are just what I need to help me do that!

Each of these books has been recommended from a reliable source. I can't wait to dig into each of them to see what gold I can mine out of them to improve my classroom instruction. I continue to be inspired by new strategies. I intend to be better than I was the year before each and every year. I know these books will help me reach the next level!
