Full course description
Join us for a thought-provoking book study designed specifically for school librarians (and open to all librarians and educators), centered on Disrupting Thinking: Why How We Read Matters by Kylene Beers and Robert Probst. In this 4-week course, we will examine how traditional reading instruction can shift toward more authentic, personal, and responsive reading experiences. Through reflective coursework and practical applications, you will gain new strategies to help students think deeply, read critically, and connect meaningfully with texts. Together, we will challenge old habits, embrace new approaches, and reimagine the role of reading in our schools and libraries. Don’t miss this opportunity to disrupt your thinking, in the best possible way!
