Abstract | For generations of educators who grew up on the printed word (as compared to the electronic one), books remain an enjoyable activity that can contribute to knowledge building for professional educators with wide-ranging responsibilities. Yet they have broader value beyond personal consumption. In many school districts throughout the country, books on leadership, management and new thinking about educating children have served as a group learning tool or a jumping-off point to initiate important changes. Organized groups of central-office staff and site administrators read books by the leading thinkers in education and business. This, in turn, can be the catalyst to deep discussions about how to improve leadership and instructional practices in their school districts. This article discusses how these work, and what happens in these book clubs or reading groups. (ERIC). |
