________________________________________________________________

I can't believe it's that time of year already. Where do the days, weeks, months go? I'm ready to slow things down for summer and enjoy a few great books. Ok, who am I kidding? A LOT of great books.

The one book always at the top of my list is the professional development book selected for #cyberPD. This book is treasured and shared by many educators across the globe as we come together to learn, to share, to grow, to know better, and to be better in all that we do.

Here are the titles we have read over the last eight summers:



Here's how #cyberPD Works:

 NOW ... The time to share your PD book stack!

JUNE 1st ... The much anticipated #cyberPD book will be announced! This allows everyone time to purchase the book and begin reading and pondering how you will share your reflections.

JULY ... During the month of July, the selected PD book is discussed across three weeks. Participants read and discuss a section of the book by sharing your thoughts each week around specific chapters. We have seen so many creative ways of sharing from a blog post, to visual sketch notes, to videos, to a brief post on our MeWe Group page ... it's really up to you!

 **We encourage you to respond/comment on at least 3 other participants reflections.  This is where the deeper learning happens!**

 LAST WEEK OF JULY ... A final Twitter chat to share highlights of our learning!

An Interview with Educator/Momma/Writer Ruth Ayres Celebrating #EnticingWriters + Giveaway!

I love sharing book titles with close friends, so I'm happy you are here! I want to share a book that you must add to your to-be-read list. Ruth Ayres has a brand new book titled  Enticing Hard-To-Reach Writers   published by Stenhouse Publishers. It's another must read from Ruth. There are many professional development books available to learn about mastering our craft of teaching.   However, there are only a few that make a true impact -- and this is one book that weaves raw truth, research, practical ideas, and story all in one {cute} little package.  In  Enticing Hard-To-Reach Writers , Ruth allows her worlds to collide during the creation:  "In this book, I entwine my three story lines as educator, momma, and writer." (p. 6) And she does this in an amazing way through sharing stories of her family, adoption, children living in hard places -- and doing their best  -- and healing.
