Description

How many times have you purchased a book, put it on your nightstand, maybe even read the first chapter, and then never finish it?  (My nightstand has books piled beside it with highlighters and sticky notes marking where I left off after barely getting started.)  This book study will provide collegial support and some accountability for finishing the book! Join in to explore the common challenges of promoting student engagement and helping students to self-regulate their behaviors.
