Faculty Summer Reading Selections

Just like the students, the Eaglebrook faculty have summer reading books. When the teachers arrive back on campus after summer vacation, they will have the opportunity to discuss the books they read. This year, there are three titles for the faculty to choose from.

Assistant Headmaster and Dean of Faculty Paul Cyr-Mutty had this to say about this year’s faculty reading selections, “This year the faculty is focusing on how to incorporate into their teaching, coaching, and advising important new knowledge from neuroscience on how children learn. To facilitate this, half the faculty are reading Make it Stick: The Science of Successful Learning which discusses how our understanding of how memory works makes certain teaching techniques particularly effective, and the other half are reading Small Teaching: Everyday Lessons from the Science of Learning which discusses how these techniques can be incorporated into teaching through relatively minor adjustments to curriculum. To support this and the faculty’s understanding of the neuroscience, they are all also reading a short, visually engaging book which is intended for use with students called The Owner’s Manual for Driving Your Adolescent Brain.” Take a look at past Eaglebrook faculty summer reading selections.
