First Book Club Pick of 2021!
/We are all born with equal potential in an unequal world that stacks against us quickly. … That is the reality of many of our best and brightest young scholars due to no fault of their own.
-Mirko Chardin & Katie Novak
After several deliberations, I am thrilled to announce our first book club selection for 2021 is Equity By Design: Delivering the Power and Promise of UDL by Mirko Chardin and Katie Novak. As we continue to support our students during multiple, ongoing pandemics, are we doing what is necessary to ensure all students can and will succeed? Join me as we learn more about Universal Design for Learning (UDL), how it can create more equitable learning communities, and build on what we learned during our focus on Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain by Zaretta Hammond and Sing a Rhythm, Dance a Blues by Monique W. Morris.
We will begin our exploration of Equity By Design on January 25 in our Teacher Toolkit Virtual Book Club community! All book club resources will now be available in our very online community platform powered by Mighty Networks! There we get to share ideas, view all content tied to the book including discussion guides and videos, and have discussions outside of our live meetings. You will also be able to keep on the go by downloading the Mighty Networks app. Click the button below to join the discussion!
