I'm happy to report that we had a fantastic meeting of the Salk Staff Book Club today. Harriet, Patti, Michelle, Sarah, Jake, Katherine, Sheila, Cherith, Rhonda, Sonia and I met to discuss "Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?" by Beverly Tatum. We had a great discussion that touched on many of the issues raised by the book, such as the way kids form their racial identity and affirmative action. Thank you so much to everyone who came!
For our next book, Jake has suggested How To Talk So Kids Can Learn by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish.
This book is a teacher-specific version of their well-known book, How To Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk. The authors provide a lot of concrete suggestions that will hopefully both spark interesting conversation and also give us lots of ideas to use with our students.
