If there is any one book that I think helped me re-think my teaching methods,
it is In the Middle by Nancie Atwell.
If you are a language arts teacher, and you haven't read this book, run--not walk--to your nearest bookstore (or Amazon) and grab a copy. It opened my eyes to what was possible in a classroom with a teacher who really cared and who was not afraid to try new things and keep her students' best interests in mind at all times. Her classroom focused on authentic learning for her students...real world writing and reading. And her students prospered. My copy of this book is so battered and worn because it became my teacher's Bible. It's underlined, highlighted, dog-eared. Highly, highly recommended. 100 out of 10 stars!!! Well, what are you waiting for?
