Back in the summer, I asked the faculty for a list of their favorite books that relate to teaching, the classroom or education in general. My hope was to make these into a "summer reading list" post but unfortunately the project got put on the back burner and later forgotten. I revived the idea a little while ago however, and here's some of the responses I got. I hope you find some insightful and interesting reads to add to your own bookshelf!
