Welcome!
We are an educator's book club that meets in the Twin Cities.
Different geographic areas. Different settings. Different age groups and different content areas but we have one thing in common: we all seek out the opportunity to regularly build bridges across districts to learn from each other and grow, so that we may spark disruption in education, unsettle the status quo and innovate together towards a future where all classrooms are equitable, demographically unpredictable, and guided by the principles of social justice.

FAQs
What if I haven't read the book?
That's okay! We assemble a detailed list of quotes from the book, divided into three themes and share it on our Facebook group and in our Shared Drive Folder. Review those resources if you have time and join the discussion!
How is the book club structured?
We use a loose protocol to structure the conversation around three themes. All of our discussion notes are published on our Facebook group and in the Shared Google Drive.
How do I know what book you are reading?
Simply check back here to see our monthly flyer (above), join our Facebook group or follow us on Meet Up!
Where is Class Hacks located exactly?
We meet once every three months or so in person. We meet in the beautiful community room of the Carleton Artist Lofts! Use the door with the flags in front (walk through the parking lot to get to the door). Park for free on along the fence on Charles, Carleton or Hampden, or at the paid lot across the street.
Can I share information about the book club with my colleagues/administrators/friends?
YES.
Can I use the discussion questions on your Google Folder for my own book study group?
YES.
I am an elementary/secondary/post-secondary/ALC/retired/substitute teacher/administrators/etc. Can I still go?
YES! Educators from all across the profession attend Class Hacks.
Will the Class Hacks team come to my school or business to lead a book study for just our workplace?
