Surely everyone\u2019s list of the top 50 books for educators would be different, but Nick Grantham of Fractus Learning<\/a> has come up with some pretty good suggestions. Summer reading season is here, and this list has some that you have probably already read, some that you have been meaning to read, and some you have never heard of before.<\/p>\n

The list is not in order by rank and is broken into the five categories of Inspiration, Leadership, Educational Psychology, Learning Culture, and Practice.<\/p>\n

Notable exceptions include Doug Lemov\u2019s Teach Like a Champion<\/em>, Amanda Ripley\u2019s The Smartest Kids in the World<\/em>, Sal Khan\u2019s The One World School House<\/em>, Diane Ravitch\u2019s Reign of Error<\/em>, and Marc Tucker\u2019s Surpassing Shanghai<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Following is a link to the list:<\/p>\n
