#cyberPD Is Going Wild!

Laura Komos at Ruminate and Invigorate, Michelle Nero at Literacy Learning Zone and I are excited to announce this year's #cyberPD title.  First of all, I want to thank everyone who took time from their busy schedules to post a picture, booklist, and/or tweet professional summer reading possibilities for us to consider.  The stacks were interesting to view and made my TBR pile a little taller.  You can view the stacks here.

So, I know you're interested in hearing which book we have chosen for discussion.  It's never easy.  We try to consider titles on everyone's reading lists, books that lend themselves to thoughtful discussion, as well as books that would be of interest to a wide range of educators.
