Our Purpose
Teachers as Readers book club will meet to discuss the latest books in both middle grade and picture books. Most books will be is representative of a diversity of experiences and intersectional identities. Our goal is to be familiar with new literature to help guide our students in reading these works. At times,the books will confront issues of race, class, gender, ability, etc that some may find challenging, but as we pursue an anti-bias curriculum, it’s important we learn how to navigate these topics with our students. All books will already have met the criteria for library purchase under FCPS Regulation 3013.2. The Teachers as Readers book club is not for the purposes of approving books for the library. It is a book club to build camaraderie among colleagues.
