What is CTL reading?
Save the date for our 50th Anniversary Celebration in January where you will have the opportunity to peruse the CTL Book Fair and take home a title for yourself. Each month in our newsletter we will be sharing out reads that will be featured at the book fair, a collection of both professional and "non-work" books that relate to teaching and learning, all personal recommendations of CTL team members.
The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why it Matters, by Priya Parker
(recommended by Sarah Schoonhoven)
Caution: this book may knock your socks off. Facilitator and mediator Priya Parker takes the reader on a journey through rethinking what it means to gather people together, and offers a compelling framework for intentionally designing and attending gatherings of all kinds. Read this book if you want a new approach to the ways you create, and show up to, learning spaces.
Punished for Dreaming, by Bettina Love
(recommended by Shavonne Coleman)
“Dr. Love serves up a blistering account of four decades of educational reform through the lens of the people who lived it.” How does this impact your classroom and your pedagogy as higher ed populations have more diversified demographics?
