An Instructional Coordinator will be expected to be well read and recall professional development books that have had a profound impact on their life personally, or the world of teaching. Share a book that really impacted your teaching philosophy or outlook on education, and be sure to explain why. It would be best to share what adjustments you've made since having read the book you mentioned and how those changes have led to growth as a professional. If possible, mention aspects of the book that would appeal to the school's mission and values.

"I really like Robert J Sternberg's 'Thinking Styles'. I know that PS 38 is focused on seeing students as individuals, and Sternberg's book is a great reminder that we all learn in different ways, and that I have to design my lessons to engage all those learning styles. When I starting implementing this in my classroom by incorporating visual aids, manipulatives, music, and more movement into my lessons, I noticed improved student engagement, performance, and test scores."

The one book that I've been studying for professional development is The Teacher Clarity Playbook by Corwin Publishers. I also find that professional development materials from Solution Tree/Global PD are extremely beneficial for professional development.
