It's Time to Teach Like a Pirate!
When this was first mentioned several months ago, I had 9 teachers interested. (Woo hoo!) And 3 said they would provide their own book (Bigger woo hoo!) I have 10 copies of Teach Like a Pirate from the IRC to use during this book study. If you would like to participate and provide your own book, they are available at Amazon and Barnes and Noble (B&N is about $2 more; however, the local stores have it in stock and you won't need to wait for shipping)
