  Dear Community,

  We are back and offering another round of the WERA and SEA collaboration on Social Justice Book Club!

  Together, we are building a space to step back from our day-to-day work and dive into the "why" behind the systems we serve. Join us for:

  • Community: Connect across the fields of education, evaluation, research, and the communities we reach.

  • Curiosity: Go beyond the surface with deep reading and critical dialogue that fuels new ways of thinking.
  • Context: Unpack the social, cultural, and political forces shaping our professional and personal lives.

  How this Book Club Works

  • Each book club registration lasts for one quarter and we will choose a new book each quarter (every three months).
  • Register for each quarterly series to join the discussion. This registration is for the Fall book club.
  • Buy or borrow a copy in any format (print, e-book, or audio). We encourage supporting your local library or independently owned bookstore and to donate your books to public libraries, non-profit or educational institutions when you have completed it. If you need assistance acquiring the text, SEA and WERA may be able to help so please reach out via email.
  • During the quarter, sections of the book will be discussed based upon 3-5 set reflection questions with additional questions asked by the designated facilitator for the meeting. We will rotate facilitators among the group for each meeting.

  Reading for Fall Quarter

  Rebuilding Students' Learning Power by Zaretta Hammond. An essential resource for educators, instructional coaches, and school leaders who are committed to dismantling the over-scaffolding of instruction and shifting the cognitive load back to students.

  Meeting Schedule for Summer quarter

  • Wednesday, October 21 from 12-1 PM
  • Tuesday, November 10 from 12-1 PM
  • Monday, November 30 from 12-1 PM

  The recurring Zoom link for virtual sessions will be in the registration confirmation email.

  Registration

  • SEA and WERA Members: FREE
  • Non-Members: $10 per quarterly series

  Registration and membership fees directly fund community events organized by SEA’s 100% volunteer-led leadership.

  We look forward to further building community with you!
