This Sunday is Father’s Day. It’s not too late to buy that last-minute gift if you haven’t already. I read at least four books this school year that were amazing. If your father reads and thinks, these would be ideal. :)

I read some others, but some of them were music education related, and others just wouldn’t be quite as Father’s Day specific as these, so here we go…

The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make A Big Difference by Malcolm Gladwell (Paperback available new for $9.35)

Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking By Malcolm Gladwell (Paperback available new for $9.35)

Outliers: The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell (Hardcover available new for $11.72)

Outstanding!: 47 Ways to Make Your Organization Exceptional by John Miller (Hardcover available new for $12.07)

Me? I think I’m going to go visit…

Joel Wagner (@sywtt) began teaching band in 2002. Though he had a lot of information, his classes were out of control. He found himself tired, frustrated, disrespected by students, lonely, and on the brink of quitting. He had had enough. He resigned from his school district right before spring break of his second year and made it his personal mission to learn to be a great teacher. So You Want To Teach? is the ongoing story of that quest for educational excellence.
