Book by Joy Hakim The Story of Science-----These three books are a

reference for many topics on the subject of science. This (3) series book collection
is my personal reading collection on many of the topics of science and science
history.
2. Book by Burke Classroom Management-----I have used this book on
numerous occasions to help me understand and relate to situations and students
that I have come across in the classroom.
3. Book by Jeanne E. Ormrod - Educational Psychology -----This book is a true
textbook. This book has been used as a reference source the entire time that I have
owned it. It seems that although there are many other books that I have been
exposed to, this one is a true reference source.
4. Book by Fay & Funk -Teaching with Love and Logic - There are an abundance
of tools and skills to communicate with students in positive and progressive ways.
This book helps eliminate some of the frustration that can come from teaching in
difficult situations.

that teaching in a way that causes the students to become engaged in their
learning is essential to their academic growth and development.
6. Book by Paulo Freire Pedagogy of the Oppressed ----- This book helps me to
be cognizant of not using the banking method of teaching that was used
extensively in this country not too long ago. I also am caused to remember to
interact with each student in a way that facilities intelligent exchange.

African American Children
This book has the feel of providing a unique perspective. This book will be used as
a reference for understanding and communicating with students of color and
challenging socioeconomic backgrounds.

the idea and practices of the general concept of Socratic circles, reading this book
helped me to go much further in my understanding of the concept of ways of
learning.
9. Website - Weebly.com -----This site has been the simplest site to use for
projects like the GSU Practicum Portfolio. I will encourage others to watch the (1
hour) video and save many hours of pain and discomfort. This site allows you to
build your documents on your computer and then easily upload the documents to
your website. A clear understanding of how relatively easily this site is to use
compared to other do it your websites is profound.

10. Website WWW.Grammarly.com

------- This site is great for all students
not respective of how good they are with grammar, spelling and punctuation skills.
I have only been actively aware of this site for about one year. The site has helped
me immensely.
