I have been teaching for 14 years and this year has been one of the hardest. I am really wanting to improve the way I engage and interact with my students. Society is changing and I want to adapt and become the best teacher I can be. These books have amazing ideas and research-based practices that I would love to learn and add to my classroom. I want my students to love coming to school and I want to love being there. I think these books offer so many ideas that I can gain so much knowledge and use the tools immediately!
