We would like to invite you to join us for a morning book club in order to build relationships as an international community among colleagues and parents. As thinking is a focus in our learning environments and a core component of our strategic plan, we would like to invite you to read and discuss “The Geography of Thought” by Richard Nisbett as a community.
“Geography of Thought” sessions will take place in the Middle School Library from 07:45 to 08:25. We aim to read a chapter before each meeting and come together to discuss during these bi-weekly sessions. Please see the schedule below:
| Chapter | Date |
|---|---|
| 1 | January 9 |
| 2 | January 23 |
| 3 | February 6 |
| 4 | February 20 |
| 5 | March 6 |
| 6 | March 20 |
| 7 | April 10 |
| 8 | April 24 |
During our meeting we will reflect on the implications this text provides for our community. How thinking is related to culture? What are the different systems of perceptions and thoughts we and others might hold? We are both very excited to join in this conversation and dialogue as stakeholders in an international community.
