I’m not sure what I want to be when I grow up. I’m loving the classroom right now, but I think I’d eventually like to move towards teaching teachers.
Over the summer, I was looking for some books to read to help myself grow into a teacher leader, so I asked my community on Instagram to share suggestions.
You guys gave some awesome suggestions, and I promised I’d share:
5 Levels of Leadership by John Maxwell
Crucial Conversations by Patterson, Grenny, McMillan, Switzler
Dare to Lead by Brené Brown
How to Thrive as a Teacher Leader by John Gabriel
Lead Like a Pirate by Shelley Burgess and Beth Houf
Life is Short, Don’t Wait to Dance by Valorie Kondos Field
Shaping School Culture by Terrence Deal and Kent Peterson
Start With Why by Simon Sinek
Step In, Step Up by Jane Kise and Barbara Watterson
The Disney Difference by Wayne Olson
The Energy Bus by Jon Gordon
The Truth About Leadership by James Kouzes and Barry Posner
Here’s the whole list on Amazon.
Of all of the recommendations, Dare to Lead was BY FAR the most recommended. I borrowed the eBook from the local library and fell in love with Brené Brown!
I think Step In, Step Up is next for me. What’s next for you?
