I’ve got 3: Shifting the Monkey by Todd Whitaker, Pathways to the Common Core by Calkins, Lehman, and Ehrenworth, and Imagine by Jonah Lehrer. Going to try to read the Teaching 2030 book & Wagner book, too!
Great list. Thanks!
I have a couple:
-Dancing about Architecture: A Little Book of Creativity by Phil Beadle
-A New Culture of Learning by Douglas Thomas and John Seely Brown
-Stop Stealing Dreams by Seth Godin (free PDF download)
If you don’t have time for Seth’s manifesto, I have an abridged version of my own making: http://sonyaterborg.com/imagine-a-school/
Totally adding Godin’s eBook to my list! How could I forget it??? Thanks for the reminder, Sonya.
No worries. I love it. I read it twice and then read it aloud to my husband (he LOVED that!) Imagine by Jonah Lehrer is awesome, as is Wagner’s Creating Innovators. This is an awesome list!
I love ‘Imagine A School’ !
Innovate is one of the easiest books to read, and packed with big ideas you can’t miss. The world is flat for schools is also brilliant and really makes you think.
This is excellent list. Thank you. Also I enjoy Hunger Games.
5 down and 15 more to go… Thanks for the list 🙂
I’d add Douglas Thomas and John Seely Brown’s “A new culture of learning” to this already excellent list.
“20 innovative books for your summer reading list | Powerful
Learning Practice” actually causes me personally contemplate a somewhat more.
I actually cherished every single component of this post.
Many thanks ,Felicia
