Book 6 in my week of favorites includes this offering targeted especially to educators. It contains some terrific ideas about elevating student engagement in the classroom and helping to reframe challenging content in accessible ways. Check it out! #d90learns

One more book recommendation to continue the run - this one is for all River Foresters! It was written in the mid-70’s, but still stands as one of the best historical accounts of the Village’s growth and development since founding. #d90learns #D90Learns

So, here is my third book recommendation. This is an excellent and highly accessible read about the real life impact of implicit bias, with a strong evidence basis. Enjoy!

Day two of the seven-day book challenge is historical non-fiction about Reagan’s courage and resolve in building understanding with Gorbachev. Definitely worth it. #d90learns #D90Learns
