Invitation to host a Book Study
​ISLA is encouraging its local councils and all Indiana schools to host a book study with Being the Change: Lessons to Teach Social Comprehension by Sara K. Ahmed.

Format is open! Here are a few ideas.
  • Meet at a coffee shop or at a restaurant that serves Indiana produced beer or wine!
  • Designate a bulletin board in a staff lounge for readers to post new learning and reflections.
  • Organize a Twitter slow chat. Post a new discussion prompt each morning over a series of days. Participants can respond to each prompt at a time of their convenience.
  • Start a Goodreads community group.
  • Host a Google Hangout. Advertise a specific time and date for participants to join.

​Share how you plan to share the book Being the Change within your community of practice on Padlet!
