WCLT (Local Resources)

The following is a list of resources available for self-directed professional development.  If any of the titles are of interest to you, please let me know and I will sign it out to you and put it in your mailbox.

As we review these books, I would appreciate it if you could provide me with a little synopsis of the book and if you would recommend it to a colleague. I will post your synopsis to make this list more user friendly. owl reading
