Episode 77: Book Clubs: Let Go, Lean In, and Just Try It
Description
In this solo episode of the Compass PD Podcast, Dr. Natalie Fallert invites educators to try something both brave and rewarding—student-led book clubs. As testing season wraps up and attention spans wane, spring is the perfect time to launch a flexible, choice-driven reading experience that fosters deep conversations, authentic learning, and student ownership.
Natalie breaks down what book clubs really are (hint: not lit circles with packets), why they’re worth trying—even if it’s messy—and how you can get started right now, using the books you already have. Whether you're a classroom teacher testing the waters or an instructional leader looking to spark student engagement, this episode is your friendly nudge to let go, lean in, and trust your readers.
