Online Teacher in Residence is pleased to announce our exclusive online teachers' book groups series, starting in Summer Term 2010!

We will study a variety of  primary and secondary level fiction books with a view to giving teachers exposure to new and exciting fiction for their pupils.

We will also occasionally study non-fiction books aimed at professional development for teachers.

In most cases, the first ten teachers to sign up for any book group will receive a free copy of that book group's book.

Teachers may sign up to any book group that interests them, regardless of what age they actually teach.

After each book group has taken place, we will make free teaching notes and lesson resources available for each book, informed by the book group discussions.
