​Two weeks ago, 95% of you said that you wanted to spend some of your professional learning time this summer immersed in independent reading. We couldn’t agree more! We asked the Association for Academic Leaders Advisory Council for their suggestions, whether they were books they’d already read or those that they were eager to dive into. We asked One Schoolhouse’s staff the same question. Check out those recommendations. One advisory council member, Joel Sohn, Upper School Director, University Prep (Seattle), took a pause in his busy schedule and wrote a review we’re honored to share here.
