Perhaps because I’m feeling a high level of anxiety about the state of education in the nation this month, I decided to revisit a number of books on education that have encouraged and inspired me in the past. I wrote short essays about each of them — particularly about why they still matter today. Three of the essays appear on the Carney Sandoe & Associates blog:
Why Are All the Black Kids Still Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? — September 2020
The Students Are Watching Us — More Closely Now Than Ever — September 2020
In Pursuit of Excellence in Learning — August 2020
I encourage all school leaders to do more than they think possible to support their teachers during these difficult times. All of us are feeling the weight of the pandemic, but many teachers are definitely carrying more weight than is good for them.
