This book club will get together for live online meetings once a month while using an online classroom to engage with one another throughout the year. Participants will receive two books, Onward and the Onward Workbook.
The Onward Book Club offers a year of monthly book club discussions for educators, coaches, and leaders to grow your resilience in a supportive community. Based on the 12-month curriculum in the book Onward and The Onward Workbook, the book club will provide strategies and practices to help you deepen your resilience. With practical, informative, inspirational and relevant activities and guidance, Onward is grounded in science, social science, and psychology, and peppered with Elena's personal narratives, this book will undoubtedly change the way we think about emotions, stress, and our purpose as educators.
The book focuses on the 12 habits that cultivate resilience, and their correlating dispositions, and provides a roadmap for how to feel more effective, more fulfilled, and happier at work. This is book study targeted toward your personal growth and how that positively impacts your classroom, role, and/or leadership -- there will not be any activities or discussion based on students or activities you can do with your students, but instead, how you can grow as an individual.
