Recommended Reading
I'm thrilled to present some fantastic books that I consider essential resources for educators, especially in an international setting! Stay tuned as I continue to expand this section with even more remarkable texts!
Mackenzie's book is my top recommendation for teachers interested in inquiry-based learning. It's a concise and accessible read filled with practical examples and ideas that can be easily applied in the classroom. This text is a must-have for anyone involved in project-based learning or the MYP Personal Project.
The Culture Map by Erin Meyer
Even with my background in anthropology and linguistics, years of travel, and being part of a multicultural, multilingual family, I found that this book offers practical tools and ideas for collaborating across cultures.
I highly recommend any of Harari's books, but this was the first one I discovered. In international education, such books lay the foundation for students and teachers as global citizens, helping contextualize human behavior through historical and anthropological perspectives.
This book is excellent for teaching both students and adults self-management skills and other vital learning strategies that promote success not only in school but in life. I value books that offer clear, actionable, and practical strategies that can be implemented right away! Additionally, James Clear provides a wealth of fantastic resources for free!
This book, while primarily targeted at the business sector, is highly applicable for educators and leaders as a vital resource for providing honest, compassionate, and ultimately constructive feedback that fosters growth for both students and teachers.
This book is remarkable as it provides research-backed insights into cognition framed within the realm of education and learning. I value the fact that the authors also provide a variety of free resources on their website. These resources serve as excellent exit tickets and effective, low-stakes formative assessments.
