This is a blended course with both synchronous and asynchronous learning components.

Participants are responsible for acquiring the required books on their own. The expectation is that participants will come to the meet-ups ready to discuss the texts they read prior and provide feedback using a protocol. In the virtual meet-up, participants will rotate through breakout sessions with colleagues. A protocol will be used to support the conversation and drive feedback on each text. The group is open to all school educators. The book club will consist of 1 professional text and 2 book choices. We will study instructional routines like read aloud, guided inquiry, independent reading amongst others to share ways to build bridges between books and content (sci, ss, ela, math). We are inspired by the principles and tenets of the Book Love Foundation and Disrupt Texts. This book club is great for differentiated supervision projects, research and development of a PBL unit or cross teaming curriculum unit. It's also a great opportunity for those looking to extend their learning from Penny Kittle and Jennifer Serravallo focused workshops.
