TSJ Book Club - February and March

February 9, 2015 0 comments

The TSJ book club launched at the 2014 Curriculum Fair and had a great turn-out in January for bell hooks' Teaching to Transgress.

Books are suggested by book club members (those who signed up or showed up) and the group has decided to read a new book each month - alternating between one practical classroom and one more theoretical or political title. 

The winner for the MARCH TSJ Book Club is The Death and Life of the Great American School System: How Testing and Choice Are Undermining Education by Diane Ravitch. The March Book Club will meet on Saturday, March 14th from 3 and 5 at a member's home in the Logan Square neighborhood. 

Please RSVP via our new MeetUp group or email Genevieve Caffrey.  genevievecaffrey @ gmail.com
