Suggested Reading List
 

The following suggested reading list has been compiled by faculty in the Education Studies Department. We encourage all students in teacher education to read as many of these books as possible during their time at Berea, especially during the summers. The list includes non-fiction books pertaining to various aspects of education and some fictional selections. Some books which seem easy to read, like Hinton's The Outsiders and St. Exupery's The Little Prince, may nevertheless have a profound and lasting influence on the reader. Other books, like Whitehead's essays on education, provide more challenge. Even though these books may be read only in part, they too can powerfully influence one's thinking about teaching and learning and life. Education Studies faculty invite students to share with us comments and questions about any of these books as well as suggestions for additional works to include on this list in future years.
