Building Equity by Dominique Smith challenges educators to move beyond good intentions and examine how daily classroom practices shape student experiences. Rather than positioning equity as an abstract concept or district initiative, this book brings the focus directly into the classroom, asking teachers to reflect on how beliefs, relationships, routines, and instructional decisions influence who feels valued, supported, and successful. Smith invites educators to examine the difference between intent and impact and to recognize how equity is built through consistent, thoughtful actions rather than isolated programs.

​

Designed with educators in mind, Building Equity offers practical insights for creating classrooms where all students experience belonging, voice, and opportunity. Through real-world examples and reflective questions, teachers are encouraged to examine their own practices and make intentional shifts that promote fairness, inclusion, and engagement. This book study supports educators in translating reflection into action, empowering them to implement meaningful changes that not only strengthen their classrooms but also contribute to a more inclusive and equitable school culture.​

The Energy Bus for Schools is a practical and inspiring guide for educators who want to strengthen classroom culture, improve relationships, and show up each day with greater purpose and positivity. Using a simple yet powerful metaphor, Jon Gordon challenges educators to examine their mindset, recognize how their energy impacts others, and take ownership of the culture they help create. This book study invites teachers to reflect on their beliefs, attitudes, and daily practices—and to reconnect with the “why” behind their work in education.

​

Through guided reading, reflection, and application, participants will explore how positive energy, strong relationships, and intentional leadership can transform classrooms and influence school culture. The study is designed to move beyond inspiration into action, helping teachers identify concrete strategies they can implement with students and colleagues right away. The experience concludes with a deep reflection and interview, allowing participants to synthesize their learning, articulate key takeaways, and commit to meaningful changes that support a more positive, connected, and resilient learning environment.​
