Teaching and Learning Book Discussions

A Book Discussion where it’s OK if you didn’t read the book!

Are you eager to discuss new and thought-provoking books about teaching? Do you have a pile of books you haven’t yet had the time to read?

This informal discussion group will explore a different book at each meeting. After a brief overview of the book’s main themes, we will spend most of our time engaging in informal discussion about the ideas and their implications for teaching.

Be sure to vote on a future book or suggest your own options below.

In Fall 2025, we will host a Book Club FLC about Small Teaching Online

During the Fall 2025 semester, we will be hosting a Book Club FLC club around the book, Small Teaching Online.

Suggested Discussion Guidelines

These discussions are intended to create save/brave spaces for thought-provoking discussions. To that end, the following guidelines are suggested.

  • Speak your own truth – use “I” statements
  • Respect the truth of others – listen to understand, suspend judgment and turn to curiosity
  • Ask questions to expand our thinking
  • Hold ourselves accountable for our statements
  • Participate at your comfort level, yet aim to hear as many voices/perspectives as possible
  • Take the learning outside the discussion, but keep any personal information confidential
