I’ve annually encouraged readers to share recommendations for the best books on education they’ve read during the previous year (you can see past lists here).
I did it a little differently this year by asking on social media.Β Here’s what people said (add your recommendations in the comments section!):
Time 4 my 12th annual list of favorite Ed books of yr. Reply w/title of your favorite education-related book that u read this yr, name of author, why u liked it!

Here's one more – maybe not quite what you're asking for, but it was extremely helpful as both a parent and high school advisor. https://t.co/4p1mYoFITr

βJust Schools. Building Equitable Collaborations with Families and Communities β by @prof_ishimaru . Lays out why and how for transforming power, building reciprocity and creating meaningful partnerships between schools and all families. Want equitable collaboration? Begin here.

I second what @WithEqualStep stated about #JustSchools by @prof_ishimaru . I would add #NaturalAlliesBook by @soortle to your list. These books complement each other, and provide steps to systemic change (in partnering with families) at the district, school, and classroom level. pic.twitter.com/gWpOgiFZfH

Cultivating Genius by @GholdyM was a 2021 book study. Lots of appreciation from educators, with several teacher contributions/responses here –> https://t.co/9lygf0jGmN

https://t.co/vdF4u0UeIg So many wonderful suggestions here. Also, I've used the optimal time for rotating classroom seating this year, and it has infused new life into partner work!

Annie Murphy Paul's The Extended Mind — explores research about learning and validates what many good teachers know intuitively.
Barbara Oakley's Uncommon Sense Teaching — takes research from her learning how to learn series and flips it to teaching.— Polly Mayer (@ClinicPolly) December 28, 2021
