Summer Reading for Teachers

I am working on writing a short book called "Embrace Change" to support teachers and learners as we move into what could be a challenging school year. It is taking me a while to get it write, but I hope to release it soon on Amazon. Stay tuned. Here is a short exert from the book draft, just in case you are curious. Let me know if there is something you think I am missing?

In addition to attempting to write, I am trying to catch up on my summer reading. My reading choices  this summer strongly influenced by current events and the uncertainty of next school year. I don't know if I will get through all of these, but I am going to try.
