#17 Top PD Books to Buy With Those Gift Cards

Welcome everyone to the Craft & Draft podcast! We are so excited to bring to you what we love, talking with you about workshop, literacy, writing, reading, and real world teaching. 

In this episode, Jacob and Pam share books from Donald Graves to the present. We share books that you may want to add to your professional development library or a back to school gift for your colleague. Not only do we share our planned list, we throw in quite a few bonus books too!

We share how we use these books and how they help us to hone our pedagogical skills in a writing reading workshop.  We stand upon the shoulders of some great researchers whose work lives on today in our classrooms.  When we reach back to these powerhouses through their books, we transfer their work to our students and inspire our students to read and write

Join Jacob and Pam as they help you shop for your back to school professional books.
