Book Study Opportunity
Email from Dr. Clevenger:
We would like to extend an invitation to participate in a Spring 2020 LSC Book Study. We offered this opportunity last year and had an overwhelmingly positive response. The opportunity will be a blended model, utilizing Canvas as an online platform while holding two live meetings to collaborate and reflect in person. You DO NOT need to be a Canvas expert to participate. We will get you signed up and ready to go before our book study begins. We will be reading the sequel to last spring’s book study. The title is Relationship, Responsibility, and Regulation: Trauma-Invested Practices for Fostering Resilient Learners written by Kristin Van Marter Souers with Pete Hall. Participating in last spring’s book study IS NOT a requirement for signing up this year! PGPs will be offered for both the online reflections and live meetings (approx. 8-10 PGPs total available).
Tentative Schedule:
Late January & Early February – Canvas Reflections
February 27th – Meeting @ Sunnyside Intermediate 4:00-5:00
March – Canvas Reflections
April 2nd – Meeting @ Sunnyside Intermediate 4:00-5:00
If you are interested in participating with other LSC colleagues, please click on the link below. Registration will be open until Friday, December 13th. This will allow us to distribute books before break.
RSVP for Spring 2020 Book Study
If you have questions or concerns, please email Connie Sinz at csinz@lsc.k12.in.us.
