Summer Reading

As summer approaches it is a great time to reflect and improve your craft. My kindle is overflowing with books that I have collected over the course of the year. As educators, reading  (or listening to audio books) is the single best tool for continuous improvement. As an administrator, we must read, we must take the steps to stay current, we must be the instructional leader of our school!

The List:

1.) Culturize – Jimmy Casas

2.) The Innovator’s Mindset – George Cuorus

3.) The Limitless School – Abe Hege & Adam Dovico

4.) The 10 Minute Inservice – Todd Whitaker & Annette Breaux

5.) Reframing the Path to School Leadership – Lee Bolman & Terrance Deal

6.) Embedding Formal Assessment – Dylan Wiliam & Siobhan Leahy

7.) Hacking Engagement Again – James Sturtevant

8.) Be the One for Kids – Ryan Sheehy

9.) Collaborative Leadership: Six Influences that Matter Most – Peter M. Dewitt

What School Could Be: Insights and Inspiration from Teachers across America by [Dintersmith, Ted]

Welcome to Mr White's Website. This site will feature information relevant to Mr White's Classroom and useful information for students, parents, and fellow educators. Mr White's educational career began in 1991 when he was in the fifth grade. His class participated in a book-buddies project with a first grade class and he became hooked on the educational process. One comment from the first grade teacher (who noticed him reading upside down, so the student could see the picture) made a huge transformation in his life. Mr White's educational career has taken him many places, he has had experiences ranging from being responsible for high school student's living in college dorms, teaching students with challenging behaviors, assisting students in overcoming behavioral difficulties, and . He has worked hard to assist students from a disadvantaged background to actualize success in life. It is both challenging and humbling work, however, it is highly rewarding.
