Teaching When the World is on Fire book study starts September 17

Start the school year off strong and join fellow educators for a five-week book study, “Teaching When the World is on Fire”.

Politics, war, racism, LBGTQ+ issues – there is no end to the hot topics that may come up in classrooms. In this era of aggressive and polarized politics, it may be challenging to address these difficult topics in class without fear of creating an unnecessary conflict for classroom teachers.

“Teaching When the World is on Fire” is a collection of essays from educators addressing the concerns we all share when attempting to balance addressing real world topics and the limitations of doing so with students.

Join us virtually 9/17/24 through 10/15/24 for a study of key essays from this text and frank conversations about these challenging topics during a challenging time.
