My journey through Graduate School to earn a Masters of Art in Education. I was on track to become a teacher, but now everything has changed, and I'm on the job hunt with a Bachelor's in Liberal Arts and a Master's in Education with no teaching certificate.

Summer Reading
Actually, classes start on June 23 and go until July 31. I will be taking three classes and I need seven books: (The prices are from Powells.com)
- Michie, G. (1999). Holler if you hear me: A teacher and his students. Williston, VT: Teachers College Press ($13.95-$19.95)
- Kozol, J. (1991). Savage Inequalities: Children in America's Schools. Scranton, PA: Harper Perennial ($9.50-$14.00)
- Hargreaves, A. (2003). Teaching in the knowledge society. Williston, VT: Teachers College Press (Not available at Powell's)
- Ormrod, J.E. (2003). Educational Psychology: Developing learners (4th Edition). Upper Saddle River, NJ: Merrill-Prentice Hall (Not currently stocked at Powell's)
- Wiesendanger, R.D. (2001). Strategies for literacy education. Old Tappan, NJ: Pearson ($35, but out of stock at Powell's)

- McKenna, M. & Robinson, R. Teaching through text: Reading and writing in the content areas (3rd edition). Old Tappan, NJ: Pearson ($85)
And that's just for the summer term. I don't have the booklist for fall or spring yet, but there shouldn't be too many more.
There is also a transitional reading list:
- Palmer, P. The Courage to Teach
- Rubin, L. Artistry in teaching
- Kidder, T. Among school children
- Fiere, P. Pedagogy of the oppressed
- Goodlad, J. A Place called School
- Hammond, L. The Right to Learn
- Warner, S Teacher
- Berliner, D., Biddle, B. The manufactured crisis
- Postman, N. The End of Education
- Gardner, H. Multiple Intelligences
- Delpit, L. Other people's Children
- Payne, R. A framework for understanding poverty
- Guruan, M. The boys and girls learn differently
Quite a list, isn't it?
