Every year, I ask readers of this blog to share – either in the comments section or on Twitter – the title and author of their favorite education-related book, along with one or two sentences explaining why they chose it.
It’s that time again!
Please share them with me no later than December 15th. Then, I’ll compile them in a post to share. With luck, I’ll publish it before everyone has done their holiday shopping so you can put some of them on your gift list!

My favorite education-related book for 2018 is Dave Stuart’s “these 6 things.” The book helps the reader reflect on the true meaning of teaching – long-term student flourishing. It is perfect for the over-whelmed first-year teacher or the exhausted experienced teacher. Not only can teachers explore how to survive the day to day challenges of building relationships with students, but they can gain lots of great instructional strategies that can be easily implemented. The book is enjoyable, full of humor, and gives suggestions to work smarter, not harder.
