Teacher Solidarity Study Group

Thursday, October 8, 2026
5:30-7 pm (Central)

Facilitator: Jane Rothschild
Free for Members; Non-members $15

 

How does this moment of turbulent social change relate to us, as educators? In our Teacher Solidarity Study Group, we learn and reflect on United States history so that we can try to understand current events and our roles as teachers and change makers in this moment.

 

Each year, we pick a book and discuss selected chapters quarterly, with our facilitator, Jane Rothschild. This year, we’re reading The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story.

 

Join us for community, learning, and reflection on how history can give us and our students courage to work towards a more just and equitable future. You don’t need to commit to the whole year to attend. Jump in anytime! You can find the upcoming reading assignment and digital excerpts of the book here. If you’d rather get your own copy of the book, you can buy it here.

This group was created with adult education teachers, tutors, and administrators in mind, although everyone is welcome!

Building Reading Comprehension: Tools You Can Use At Any Level

Thursday, October 29, 2026
5:30-7 pm (Central)

Facilitator: Bria Dolnick

There’s more to reading than recognizing words!

 

In this training we’ll think and talk about the components of reading and how they affect reading comprehension. We’ll also practice methods and tools you can use before, during, and after reading to help readers deepen their understanding and build independent reading skills.
