Two Good Books I enjoyed this summer for School Teachers

Ecoliterate: How Educators Are Cultivating Emotional, Social, and Ecological Intelligence

Daniel Goleman

Lisa Bennett

Zenobia Barlow

Jossey-Bass

2012

192 pages

This book is interesting. This book talks about various aspects regarding making the kids learn and enjoy learning about saving environment. Surely this book makes teachers to think about teaching about sustainable development and making the children learn and work for the benefit of environment. Though the examples are given from the US experience I am sure the basic tenet of the book makes everyone learn from this book. Various resources that are provided in the book will make educators in making the teaching and learning more enjoyable.

Because Writing Matters: Improving Student Writing in Our Schools

National Writing Project

Carl Nagin

Jossey-Bass

Revised Edition edition 2006

144 pages

This book is about writing this is the revised edition. This work is based on the National Writing Project and efforts that are undertaken by the team. Though the book is based on the US experience and written for the schools in US, I feel this book helps in providing a framework that will help the educators to see the writing from different aspect.
