Teachers as Learners
From the back of the book:
"In Teachers as Learners, noted teacher educator and scholar Sharon Feiman-Nemser argues that serious and sustained teacher learning is a necessary condition for ambitious student learning. She closely examines how teachers acquire, generate, and use knowledge about teaching over the trajectory of their careers. This collection of landmark essays bears witness to the evolution and development of a body of scholarship about teacher learning in which the author herself has played a catalyzing role."

Read this one slowly throughout the fall for a graduate course. If your interested in educational reform Feiman-Nemser has a lot of practical ideas. The book is set up as a series of essays, so you could pick and choose the topics of most interest to you. She introduced many new concepts to me that I hadn't thought of before such as "Educative mentoring" and "teacher trajectories." I also like her stance that we need change at the collegiate level (pre-service teaching) and better connections between schools and local colleges for both mentoring and research purposes.
