Learning

There are just too many things to learn! Am trying to read several professional books at once-no mean feat! The first one is Happiness and Education by Nel Noddings. I love the idea of a curriculum of care! Am also looking at Number Talks by Sherry Parrish. She has great ideas to share about how to help students develop number sense through daily mental mathematics. Add to that is Kieran Egan's Getting It Wrong from the Beginning. Egan suggests that the foundational philosophies, which have shaped education as we know it are fundamentally flawed. Finally, just got a book by Ronald D. Wolk entitled, Wasting Minds: Why Our Education System is Failing and What We Can Do About it.  Don't know where these books will take me...I just need to make more time to sit and read them!!
