Summer Reading List for Teacher Development
Summer is a time to rest and rejuvenate to come back to work better than we were before. But, devoting time to reading is also worth considering. Indeed, science has shown that reading does not only improve our memory and empathy. But it also makes us feel better and reduces the chances of developing Alzheimer’s later in life. Yet, we need to select books that can support us in achieving our development as teachers and further students’ learning.
