Scott McLeod, Associate Professor and Coordinator of the Educational Administration program at Iowa State University and Director of the UCEA Center for the Advanced Study of Technology Leadership in Education (CASTLE), has decided to do another online summer book club, which will begin June 15. Last year’s discussion of Influencer: The Power to Change Anything was so much fun that he can’t resist doing it again.
This year’s reading for the CASTLE summer book club will be Why Don’t Students Like School? A Cognitive Scientist Answers Questions About How the Mind Works and What It Means for Your Classroom. The author is Dr. Daniel Willingham, Professor of Psychology at The University of Virginia.
If staff members are interested, Heartland will have copies of Why Don't Students Like School for long-term check out. Unfortunately, it is not yet available in audio form.
If you are interested in joining Dr. McLeod’s book club, go to his Web site at http://www.dangerouslyirrelevant.org/2009/05/summerbookclub.html.
