List of Books for Educators

February Vacation week is coming to an end. Unfortunately, I was not lucky enough to escape the winter weather and head off to the tropics.  This left me with plenty of time to catch up on my RSS feed, Pinterest boards, Edmodo posts and tweeting (@pendeskllc).  Once I was caught up with social media,  I found myself looking for new books to read.

Here is a list of books that I have added to my educational GoodReads listing.

How Full Is Your Bucket?  Educator's Edition: Positive Strategies for Work and Life by Tom Rath

The Tipping Point:  How Little Thinks Can Make a Big Difference by Malcolm Gladwell

Outliers: The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell
Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us by Daniel Pink

Radical: Fight: Fighting to Put Students First by Michelle Rhee

A Whole New Mind:  Why Right Brain-Brainers Will Rule the Future by Daniel Pink

The Art of Possibility: Transforming Professional and Personal Life by Rosamund Stone Zander and Benjamin Zander

The Energy Bus: 10 Rules to Fuel Your Life, Work, and Team with Positive Energy by Jon Gordan

If You Don't Feed the Teachers They Eat the Students: Guide to Success for Administrators and Teachers by Neila A. Connors and Jennifer J. Streams

Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, Home, and School by John Medina



To get started on this lengthy list of "to-reads", I decided to go one more step and start a professional development opportunity for fellow teachers in my building.  Our first book is going to be How Full is Your Bucket?  Educator's Edition which we discuss on line using Edmodo.

If you have any books that would be worthy of adding to this list, please share.
