How about Boys in the Boat? Not officially a memoir, it’s narrative nonfiction, but does focus primarily on one person’s life. I enjoyed the young reader edition (which I’ve heard is tighter than the original). Definitely a fast and exciting read! Good luck!

This makes me want to go back to the classroom so I can steal this unit. Incredible and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your time and talent.

Some of my colleagues and I make our own planners, bc our school is on a 6-day cycle, so the class/duty schedule changes each week.
It’s a MASSIVE pain to create… but once it’s done? Amazing. Can’t recommend it enough! Hope you enjoy your custom planner as much as I enjoy mine!

I agree, but it’s tricky. When the only path to be certified is a Masters program and many important skills are learned on the job, it’s tough to justify.
Full disclosure: I’m a non-certified school librarian (private school). Would I love to be certified? Yes! Do I want a 2nd Master’s? Nope.

When I see anyone refer to the “fact” that 65% of kids are not proficient readers, I don’t trust anything else they say. This is either a misunderstanding or a misrepresentation of the NAEP data. Since it is easy to figure this out, they are either idiots or lying.
