Winter Reading

I am currently catching up on some pleasure reading (as well as education related reading as well) over this break and wanted to recommend a great book I started today: Frank McCourt's (author of Angela's Ashes) "Teacher Man". Beautiful account of a teacher's life from the first day in the classroom through a thirty-year career. There is much that I can relate to already (he attended NYU for his teaching certification), and other experiences that I am sure I will come across soon enough. Check it out.
