Book Club

BYUH’s Center for Learning & Teaching will host The CLT Book Club to discuss topics related to improving teaching and learning. CLT faculty will choose a relevant book/articles each semester to distribute to committed adjunct and full-time faculty participants. Copies will be somewhat limited so participants who receive a book should plan to commit to attending each week for the duration of the semester. Book club sessions will be 45 minutes long and generally include small and whole group discussions related to a topic from the reading each week. If you have questions or need further information please contact Leola Solis at leola.solis@byuh.edu.

Selected Reading for This Semester

The selected reading for this semester is taken from the 2nd edition of "How Learning Works" by Lovett, Bridges, Dipietro, Ambrose and Norman. It covers 8 research-based principles for smart teaching. For a copy of this book, please contact Aurie Sorensen - auries@byuh.edu.
