I am not able to run another book club right now.
I am however reading Teaching with Love and Logic and The Cafe Book for my new position. We use both at our school. If anyone is interested in discussing those with me please let me know.
Also, if anyone would like to run a book club via Team Teachers, I can set you up.
Please put something in the ask hole for both options if interested.

Any Administrators out there?
I received a message some time back from a principal. He loved what we’ve all been able to build here for teachers, as well as the Teacher Roll Call, but very much wanted to connect with other administrators.
So out of curiosity, who are the administrators out there? Would you mind replying/reblogging this post so you can find each other?
