This last academic year, 2013-2014 was not as successful as I had hoped for - in terms of reading. I was only able to read eleven educational books. Interestingly enough, and possibly as a result of not reading as much, I felt like I did not grow substantially as compared to the previous year. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I was not enrolled in any type of graduate program, and thus not exposed, and challenged with more new ideas about education? Nonetheless, I am going to continue reading this upcoming year. My goal is to read at least 18 educational related books, starting in September 2014, and ending on June of 2015.
