History Book Clubs are a fantastic way to get your students reading and engaging with history! Do you love teaching history? Do you try to integrate history into your reading block? One Saturday morning, I was at a Scholastic Warehouse Sale and I discovered a full shelf of history-based fiction and nonfiction books.

One just has to refer to the history books to see how this has played out across the world since the beginning of time. It does not rely on someone being in a leadership position in a traditional sense, but more so on a desire to want to change professional practice. This is a great example of forced change. Forced change rarely works.

However, if schools and leaders do not take cues from history it is only a matter of time before they suffer the same fate of obsolescence. Communications Schools still rely on traditional means (email, newsletters, phone calls). The domino effect here could be catastrophic to our economy and the world, as we know it.

For many schools, this flies in the face of a traditional schooling mindset that was more geared to learners having to buy-in to a one-size-fits-all system where success was determined by how well everyone did under the same conditions more or less. This is not a new concept in any sense.
