    I’m frustrated that my very well-funded public library does not have a single one of these suggested books! Where does a teacher go to borrow books to improve their teaching?

      I have noticed that public libraries have very little in the way of professional development books. 🙁 Perhaps you could get a card to a local university library, or work with fellow teachers to buy a title, then share it.

    Thank you! I shared this with all my young teacher friends who are now home doing double duty; teaching students online and teaching their own children at home. I thought this was very insightful!
