I agree that a teaching book club would be great. I agree that The Courage to Teach is a great read and very inspirational.

In reply to Karl Cottenie.Hi Karl, It really does depend on context. Some are more for reference (e.g. Davis, McKeachie) and worth having in your office. However, I would recommend Bain (2004) and Brookfield (2006), and Parker Palmer's The Courage to Teach (which was not included, but is a personal favorite). I have heard rave reviews about Hooks (1994) and Lang (2008) and look forward to reading them as well! We should start a teaching book club!Natasha

Natasha, any guidance on how to approach this list?
– The first book to read is X, followed by Y, Z.
– If you are interested in or have a problem with X, then read A, B, C; if you are interested in or have a problem with Y, then read D, E, F
