February and March Books

The books I plan to start, complete, and/or purchase in the month of February have been listed below. The books that I am in the process of reading, wanting to start, and plan to purchase for future reading have been rightly notated on the list below with corresponding italicized words. For a moment my "A" type personality wanted me to also categorize the books in one or more of the four reading categories I have. But then again...I think I can use my time more wisely.

February's books are:

• The Moral Imperative of School Leadership by Michael Fullan (in progress)
