The host provides the classroom, audiovisual equipment, paper and writing implements, and prepares the students for the upcoming program.The teacher also submits an evaluation at the conclusion of the program.

Connections Reading List 2021-2022 

This book list is organized around themes; readers experience deep satisfaction from recognizing patterns of thoughts and ideas in books that at first might seem unrelated. You can also mix and match the books to create new themes. This list is always a work in progress as facilitators and teachers discover and recommend new books.  Check out the list
