Manifesto
Based off the Personal MBA, I created a required reading list or manifesto for becoming an exceptional teacher. The introduction is included in this post, click to view the entire list in a PDF.
As I finish up my final year in the teacher preparation program at Michigan State University, and move towards graduation, my teaching internship, and my life as a teacher, it is important for me to think about the bodies of knowledge I will need to be successful. I have learned a lot in my undergraduate career and even more working on my masters in educational technology, but there is more I will need to know to truly be an expert teacher. While this list is not all-inclusive or faultless, it is a look at the type of things I will need to know, and some places I can go to find information and inspiration. Some of the sources I currently use or have previously read, and others I plan to experience in the future. There are twelve sections which suggest the types of things I will need to know to be an exceptional teacher, each including several books, website, movies, or blogs, that can help me to learn.
– Management Master – Know it All – Language Arts Legend –
– Books to Make Kids Love Books – Classroom of Creativity –
– Tech Teacher – Reach Every Single Child –
– Understand Students – It’s a Kid’s World –
