Summertime and the livin’ is easy…

Announcing the ERS Summer Book Review Blog!

Put down that John Grisham novel! Get to the hammock, pull out those sunglasses and dig into our summer recommendations. We hope to present you with an interesting variety of books and reports to fill in those idle hours at the beach. After all we don’t want to experience any summer learning loss! These recommendations may be directly about education or they might venture off the beaten path to places that still influence our perspectives on the challenges we face today in education. Who knows, you might even find some fiction on the list.

Our current plans are to post reviews occasionally throughout the summer. We would love to get your feedback on the recommendations. We would also love for you to send along your book recommendations. We will keep a running list and make sure it is up-dated and posted for everyone.
