Welcome to our Book Talk Live with authors Tammy Mulligan and Clare Landrigan, authors of It’s All About the Books: How to Create Bookrooms and Classroom Libraries That Inspire Readers.

It might seem obvious, but to create a lifelong reader, we need to start with books, good books! Books are the heart and soul of teaching literacy and our tools to develop lifelong  readers. So how can we organize books across an entire school community to support student choice AND instructional goals? And how do we do this on any budget?

Tammy and Clare join us in this video from our Book Talk Live on Facebook Live...

Tammy Mulligan and Clare Landrigan are staff developers who are still teachers at heart. They began their work together twenty-four years ago co-teaching in an integrated first and second-grade classroom at the Eliot Pearson Children’s School in Medford, MA. They now lead a private staff development business, Teachers for Teachers, and spend their days partnering with school systems to implement best practices in the field of literacy. They believe that effective professional development includes side by side teaching; analysis of student work; mutual trust; respect; and a good dose of laughter. You can find them online at Teachers for Teachers where they blog about books and the art of teaching, and on Twitter.
