Please enter the book(s) below that you would like to be considered for our Professional Development Book Database (Please ensure that the book is not already in the STA/Munro’s Pro-D Book Catalogue).
Teacher Professional Books
Professional books are targeted towards teachers, used for improving teaching practices. They show teachers how to teach a certain subject or concept or how to teach students with specific needs. They may focus on classroom management, assessment practices, child psychology or other topics related to teaching.
Books, videos, software and teaching materials that will be used directly in the classroom are not considered professional books and are not funded by the STA.
Some examples of books that would NOT be funded include:
• workbooks
• novels
• blackline masters/reproducibles
• puzzle books
• learning resources
• equipment
• books that consist mainly of lesson plans
• anthologies (poetry or other)
• books that would be considered background knowledge, such as a book on black holes or art history that does not refer to how to teach about those subjects
Please Note:
1. The STA will reimburse members for Pro-D Books that are available on the STA Munro’s Book Catalogue when bought through a different vendor up to the cost as listed in the catalogue, with applicable discount(s). Additional fees from alternative vendors, including, but not limited to, shipping will not be covered.
2. Once your title has been adjudicated, you will receive an email from the STA Office Manager, Taryn (Sooketeachers@shaw.ca).
3. We will be adding to our STA Pro-D Books catalogue throughout the year. Look on the STA calendar to see when the next Pro-D Committee Adjudication will be taking place.
