Over the next few weeks I will make it a point to post about different aspects of my reading workshop as I get ready for the new year and plan out my units of study. Today, I will take some time to recommend the professional resources that I have found to be the most important for my knowledge and planning. Books:
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week- now let’s make others appreciate you!! Let me start this post by thanking each of you in the field of teaching for your service. I really do appreciate that, it involves more sacrifice than most people realize or appreciate.

The Teacher Residency Question (This post also appears at Rick Hess Straight Up.) I’ve gotten a number of questions and comments regarding NCATE’s big Blue Ribbon Panel report, both after my remarks at the National Press Club and in response to yesterday’s post.
