Lending Library Book Kits
Instructor-Led Book Clubs on Teaching
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.
Book kits can be checked out for one semester from the TILT Lending Library in TILT 231.
For groups larger than four or for electronic copies of books, titles are available at the CSU Library.
