Teacher

Literature

Circles

Some of the best professional

development comes as a result of

teachers reading and talking. This

model is a practical way to make

that happen, bearing in mind how

little real time there is to do this.

Teacher Literature Circles groups

can be formed by whole teams,

within teams or across teams.

In some situations, the book itself

creates the group.In other situations, a group

chooses a specific bookas they

feel they will benefit from it.
