The Shape of the New American City (The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Soci... Book

Best book I have read so far on teaching science and math, and I am happy to just use the word STEM. She does a really great job addressing all nuances of girls learning, rather than lumping science and math together in explaining learning differences. I relate a lot to test anxiety, possible ADHD, and low self-esteem when it comes to math and science, and like her, I was also highly inspired by a middle school science teacher for the science that I teach today, and I was inspired simply for her being a role model. I barely even interacted with her. Perhaps the best part of the book, and this is just for me personally, is the inclusion of geology/geography lesson ideas, which is what I am most interested in, and tend to get overlooked when talking about the physical sciences as a group, and could be very promising for girls if it were taught with ideas like these in mind.
