A reoccurring goal for the summer is to read a historical or educational book for 1 to 2 hours each day in order to improve knowledge of content area or teaching.  Last night I started reading “Teaching Global History”.  This is a great book and really got me thinking about ways to improve my classes this fall.  The author also makes thought provoking comments that really make you think with a social studies mindset.  Can’t wait to spend more time with this book today, though I’m not sure when.  It’s going to be a busy one, riding in the a.m., on to Oneonta, back home for dinner, then Fair in the Square for “electioneering”, as my father-in-law refers to it.
