Subject: Best Teaching Books?

OWP TC Friends--

Sandy Brewer is teaching a methods course for
elementary teachers at
Northeastern State University. She would like you to
submit to her your top ten books for teaching.  She
needs middle school titles, too.

I told her my top three were

In the Middle, Nancie Atwell
You Gotta Be the Book, Jelf Wilhelm
After The End, Barry Lane

6+1 Traits of Writing Grades 3 and Up  by Ruth Culham
