APEX Book Clubs

Read. Reflect. Connect. Grow.

APEX Book Clubs provide a flexible way to explore engaging professional texts, deepen your understanding of history and effective instructional practice, and connect new ideas to your work with students. Book Clubs are designed to encourage professional reflection, meaningful discussion, and collaboration with fellow educators while giving you the flexibility to complete much of the learning on your own schedule.

Each Book Club includes 10 activities available through the NPE Learning Center:

• 5 multiple-choice quizzes (1 hour each)

• 5 one-hour virtual Zoom discussions (2 hours each, 1 for reading and 1 for discussing.)

Each completed activity earns APEX program hours, for a total of up to 15 hours per Book Club when all activities are completed.

Zoom discussions provide an opportunity to connect with other TRAILS educators, share perspectives, discuss key ideas from the book, and consider practical ways to apply your learning.

Program hours and stipend amounts are awarded for eligible completed activities. See the APEX Engagement Menu for current stipend amounts.

Choose a book. Join the conversation. Turn great ideas into great practice.
