[LM_NET] HIT: Books for mentor library

[Amy Carpenter <amycah@GMAIL.COM>]

Here's my original query:
One of our administrators has asked me to help develop a mentor  
library for our PreK-12 mentoring program.  We have between $1000-2000  
to spend by June 30th.  I'm looking for a list of the books that you  
think would be essential to have in this collection.  Topics he's  
mentioned as desirable include brain research, mentoring, new  
teachers, behavior management, curriculum mapping and development,  
professional learning communities and differentiated instruction  I'm  
also looking at authors such as Robert Marzano, Richard Dufour, Heidi  
Hayes Jacobs and Lucy Calkins.  Any suggestions are welcome and I'll  
compile a hit to share with the group.  Many thanks!

Here is the response:
Any of the ASCD materials are good.

--------------------
I did end up buying quite a few books from ASCD and ended up with a  
bigger list than I could afford...I'll add it to the list for next year!


Thanks
Amy
