Book Recommendations and Reading List

The idea for this came from the conference yesterday.  We talked about professional reading and I wanted to put down my recommendations for what practitioners should read but also those books that are on my reading list.  This list will be updated and all the links will take you to Amazon.

Book Recommendations
100 Things Awesome Teachers Do - William Emeny
Mathematical Mindsets - Jo Boaler
The Elephant in the Classroom - Jo Boaler
I recommend the two Jo Boaler books not because I agree with her but because she is widely quoted for her research and opinions into maths education and if you are going to either defend or oppose her, you better know exactly what she is saying first hand.
Embedded Formative Assessment - Dylan Wiliam
Seven Myths about Education - Daisy Christodoulou
Seven Myths is possibly one of the best education books I've read.  It takes commonly held beliefs in education in the UK and clearly and succinctly presents the research that dispels them.  A must read for all teachers.

Reading List
Visible Learning - John Hattie
Outstanding Maths Lessons - Mike Ollerton
Getting the Buggers to Add Up - Mike Ollerton
Yes, But Why? - Ed Southall
