Books I Have Read Recently

Filed under: Families,For Parents,For Teachers — Mrs. G. @ 10:11 am

Here is a list of books that I would highly recommend:

Mindset – Carol Dweck 

The book shares research and information about how we can have either a growth or fixed mindset. This influences how we react to experiences and situations. I would highly recommend this for staff or parents.

No: Why Kids of All Ages Need to Hear It and Ways Parents Can Say It

No. It’s not just a one-word answer, it’s a parenting strategy. Other books broach the topics of tough love and discipline, but only No offers the lively voice, warm wisdom, science made simple, and breadth of knowledge that readers have come to expect from Dr. Walsh. The first look at the psychological importance of “no” in a child’s development, No is filled with down-to-earth advice that you can put into practice immediately.
We will be having a book study this year at Twin Lake. Watch for more information soon!

The Wonder of Boys – Michael Gurian

This book speaks to how boys think and learn from birth on. If you have a boy in your life, this is amazingly informational and helpful!

212 Degrees by Sam Parker & Mac Anderson

Inspirational and makes one think about how their role in life.

The Art and Science of Teaching by Robert Marzano

Excellent book for teachers in their reflection on teaching and learning.

Transforming Classroom Grading

A different way to think about grading students for mastery. Provides research and information regarding how we think about student’s progress in their learning.

Tell me about any good books you have read recently!
