TALE is proud to announce our Educator Empowerment Book Study Series.  Educators will select texts that empowered them in the classroom and lead book studies in which they share the text with TALE members. One book study will happen each semester.
 
How Will it Work?
Join our group on Facebook! Our group name is TALE’s Educator Empowerment Book Study Series.
 
Once you request membership to the group, we will confirm your TALE membership and add you to the group. Then, as you read your copy of the selected text you will participate in discussions through our Facebook group. A reading schedule and a moderator will guide our discussions.
