Book Study, Rebound, A Playbook For Rebuilding Agency, Accelerating Learning Recovery, and Rethinking Schools 

Rebound is a gift to educators. The book is an amazing resource for all of us to rethink our classrooms and schools as we work to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. We have had many struggles in education during this pandemic; however, we have also learned new strategies that we need to capture and continue to implement as we move out of the pandemic. This book will help you do that!
