19. Book Your Summer Vacation

Author

Texley, Juliana

Abstract

Summer's the time for teachers to travel, not only physically from the confines of the classroom to exotic places, but vicariously, through the magic of books. Summer adventures help teachers expand their experience and enrich their store of context so that they can offer their students more when school resumes in the fall. That's why each year the reviewers of NSTA Recommends come together to compile a summer reading list. NSTA Recommends has evaluated over 8,500 books in the past decade and recommended the best of those for classrooms. But in many ways, recommending reading for their fellow teachers is the most important and enjoyable task they do all year. In this article, NSTA Recommends reviewers present a summer reading list.

20. Keep up with a Good Book

Author

Texley, Juliana

Abstract

Summer is a time for personal enrichment for teachers. Many travel, take formal classes, or work as interns or volunteers in scientific endeavors. But whatever the schedule, it's also a time for teachers to get back to basics. Instead of being forced to keep one step ahead of the textbook, teachers find that summer provides opportunities to catch up with the latest developments in science and education. Often, the best way to keep from being left behind is to pick up a good book. To that end, the reviewers of NSTA Recommends and the NSTA/CBC Outstanding Trade Book committee have generated a list of their favorites for your consideration.
