For Teacher Motivation
I recommend reading Teach Like Your Hair's On Fire by Rafe Esquith. I read this book last fall and it gave a spark to my teaching that lasted the whole year. It's an interesting and easy read that is both humorous and full of ideas to use in your own teaching. -Kristin Henke, fifth grade teacher, Berlin, Wisconsin.
