TILT Book Groups Begin

This Part 2: Begin Your Book Groups.

Gather some colleagues and choose a book from our curated collection. TILT book kits include: 4 copies of the book, guiding questions, optional activities, a recommended meeting schedule, and suggestions for leading the group – everything you need to run a successful book club. Each book is aligned with the domains of the Teaching Effectiveness Framework (TEF) to support your teaching goal and earn credit for the Teaching Effectiveness Initiative (TEI) program for participating in or leading a book club.

TILT will contact you with your group members’ contact information, how to pick up a copy of the book, and further instructions.

-Distracted: Why Students Can’t Focus and What You Can Do About it by James M. Lang

-How Learning Works by Susan Ambrose, et al.
-Inclusive Teaching Strategies for Promoting Equity in the College Classroom by Kelly Hogan and Viji Sathay
