Kathleen in VA Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 The Underground History of American Education by John Taylor Gatto For the Children's Sake by Susan Schaeffer MacCaulay The Teenage Liberation Handbook by Grace Llewellyn (outdated but helpful in broadening one's understanding of education) The Heart of Wisdom Teaching Approach by Robin Sampson (I especially like the chapter comparing Hebrew and Greek educational philosophy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TXMary2 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I'll add The Book Whisperer by Donalynn Miller. It's all about reading and is great whether you have a struggling reader or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
