The National Catholic Education Association is launching its book club with not one, but two outstanding titles for Catholic educators to discuss: Forming Intentional Disciples: The Path to Knowing and Following Jesus* by Sherry Weddell and Classroom Instruction that Works: Research-based Strategies for Increasing Student Achievement* by Robert Marzano.
According to Kathy Mears, Executive Director of Elementary Schools:
Our books have been selected and we hope that you will join us in our discussions. Pick one or do both discussions! It is easy to participate!
First, you must join Edmodo (www.edmodo.com), because that will be our platform. After you register, you can follow one of the following links or use one of the following codes.
If you are interested in knowing more about how to transfer our faith to future generations, please consider joining the group reading: Forming Intentional Disciples: The Path to Knowing and Following Jesus by Sherry Weddell. Through the reading of the book and the exchange of ideas, we believe that participants will grow stronger in their faith and their knowledge of how to share the faith, and meet other committed Catholic educators from all over the country! To register for this book study, please follow this link: https://edmo.do/j/u3vnpq. The code for this book is: 2fdna7.
If you would like to learn ways to implement the best practices outlined in Robert Marzano’s book, Classroom Instruction That Works: Research-Based Strategies for Increasing Student Achievement (2001), please consider registering for this book study! We will read, share pedagogical practices and learn new strategies from each other. To register for this book student, please follow this link: https://edmo.do/j/bk3n4k. The code for this book is: 2w2se8.
These book studies require you to read a little, share a little, and work together to build some common knowledge with your colleagues from across the country. Please consider joining us, as we begin to connect this way!
These two books are excellent choices to kick off the book club. I’ve read both of them, and I can’t wait to discuss them. I’ve already sent my request to join the Edmodo group, and I look forward to seeing you there!
