Description of Proposed Book Study

Book Studies offer an opportunity to engage in professional discourse around a specific topic of teaching and learning.

Effective book studies are connected to educator goals and interests, engage colleagues in collaborative learning, are carried out over a period of time, and deepen teachers’ understanding of content knowledge and pedagogy. Teachers should be engaged in critical reading, intentional dialogue, and job-embedded learning with the purpose of enhancing teaching and students’ learning.

Instructions for Instructor/Facilitator:

1. Prior to the course,

a. SYLLABUS - send an e-mail to Staff Development that there is going to be a book study course at your school. Attach this form to provide a syllabus, study guide, and/or outline of the discussion/assignment schedule. dschaeffer@

b. REGISTRATION - Staff Development will approve the credit and post the Book Study Opportunity in the ERO online registration system for participants. You will be entered as the instructor and can register each participant or you can email the link below to participants and have them register themselves. Indicate whether it is open enrollment or managed by you.

c. SIGN-IN SHEET/CLASSLIST- The instructor can print a sign-in sheet from ERO. Login and find your course. The top right corner of the screen has a link to print the “initial-in” version of the sign in sheet. This version of the sign-in sheet has all dates as columns. This summary page is the course classlist and gradebook. Participants initial for each date they attend and you mark credit completion in the last column. 0cpd or 1cpd. Ask us for assistance if you need help. If you don’t use ERO, then create a classlist in MS Word or MS Excel as your gradebook. A sample is available at V:\Instruction\StaffDevelopment-V\BookStudy

d. CPD CREDIT FORMS – will be created by the Staff Development office based on the official classlist turned in by the instructor. That classlist must be accurate.

2. Upon completion of the course,

a. Mark attendance in ERO. Select each participant individually. Mark “attended” or “dropped”, Mark “completed yes or no”, Mark 1 credit or 0 credit, Mark 15 hrs or 0 hrs. Update to save and then select the next person on the list. Mark every person in the group. Incomplete is marked if the person needs to turn something in. If you can’t mark ERO then we can help to get it done. Just ask when you submit the classlist.

b. Return the Sign-In Sheet or a Classlist as a gradebook for our records. Include an outcome for each and every participant. 1cpd or 0cpd. This sign in sheet/classlist will be kept as a record to answer questions about who earned credit and who did not.

c. If desired, have participants complete the online evaluation in ERO. After you mark attendance, the online evaluation will appear under the My Evaluations Tab when participants login. They cannot see the evaluation link until you have marked attendance. You need to email them when attendance is done. “ Please take a few minutes to give your feedback on our book study. Login to and click the My Evaluation tab.” Feel free to do your own end of course evaluation instead.

3. Staff Development will process the forms based on the classlist. When the final process steps have been completed each participant will receive a copy of the CPD form and they will be able to see the course on their online transcript in ERO.
