Book Club

Held every other month during the academic year, these free hour-long virtual events are geared toward K-12 educators but open to all. Each event focuses on a recently published book with international content that was written for or accessible to elementary, middle, and/or high school students. Book selections include graphic novels, memoirs, chapter books, young adult fiction, and picture books. Participants are asked to read the book before attending the event. Each book club typically features a scholar, educator, or practitioner with expertise in the book’s subject area and invites attendees to participate in discussion. 

Below you can see the books we’ve discussed and resources provided by our speakers to further explore topics. Many of our events are recorded and published on this site.

"There are amazing people writing amazing stories out there -- so grateful to be connected with IRIS NRC to learn about the stories being told that are non-dominant narratives."
