Thank you all for your participation in our book club poll (I apologize that the polling tool was a little odd).
The clear winner for this first round is Onward: Cultivating Emotional Resilience in Educators by Elena Aguilar!
Elena Aguilar is also the creator of the Bright Morning podcast and has authored a number of other books on coaching. Many of her books including this one have study guides available. I have downloaded the individual guide and attached it here. There is a group guide for a cost, if you enjoy the book enough you might choose to hold an official study with your colleagues. There is also a workbook available if you want to take full advantage of this PD opportunity (I will be starting with the eBook and I'll see how I feel about it).
I will be reading this book for the first time along with you, so all questions can be to group. There are 12 chapters, plus an introduction and conclusion, I propose we give each section a week to keep us active. Please take the next two weeks to get the book and read the introduction. I will be scheduling posts for the following 14 weeks to share some prompts for discussion.
To keep our conversations organized, I will be adding [Book Club - Onward] to the beginning of all of these posts.
Thank you for your participation and I hope to see you next week at our regular meeting!
