This Thursday: Book club part 2

It's not too late to join the discussion on the second half!

Hey there, Bell Ringers! Are you ready for another book club meeting? The book is downloadable, free and short. If you’d like to learn more about the role knowledge plays in a strong curriculum—important for educators, leaders and decision-makers—then get reading and join us! Details below.

This week we dive into the second half of Developing Curriculum for Deep Thinking: The Knowledge Revival, a book by the global group of scholars Tim Surma, Claudio Vanhees, Michiel Wils, Jasper Nijlunsing, Nuno Crato, John Hattie, Daniel Muijs, Elizabeth Rata, Dylan Wiliam and Paul A. Kirschner.

Even though we are covering the second half of the book, it’s still easy to get started today. You can begin by downloading it here, for free. Once you get the book:

• If you have already read the first half, read the second half, “Knowledge and the Curriculum,” from pages 37—69.

• If you’re just getting started, you can read pages 1—30, or watch the recap of the discussion here.

• Mark your calendar for the book club discussion, which will take place this Thursday, June 19 at 4 pm Eastern Standard Time, on Zoom. (Link below.)

• Bring your questions, thoughts and ideas for the discussion!

• Get your questions on helping build students’ knowledge ready for co-author Paul Kirschner, who will do a special Zoom with readers in July. (Date and time TBA)

Here are all the key details—where to sign up, how to get on the Zoom, and more:
