TRANSCRIPTS OF ONLINE
AUTHOR DISCUSSIONS

You are invited to join our
public TLN listserve at any
time. To do so you can click
on this link TLNListserve.

This is a listserve of teachers, coaches,
educators, administrators,
students, and others
interested in teaching
and learning.

Many scheduled
discussions are hosted
during the year. Activity
may be moderate to heavy
depending on events or
subjects posted.

Our Online Author Access is an arrangement we have with some authors this fall
to dedicate two days to discuss online with teacher education students and with
school faculties some of the questions and comments that have arisen from
the study of the text. There is no restriction on the content of the discussion other
than it is about the subject of the book and ideas regarding teaching and learning.

Our authors encourage conversations that inspire teachers and future teachers to be
active participants. The dialogue will be candid, to the point, and thought provoking.
Students will gain insight into the material that only the author can provide, adding an
extra dimension to the classroom studies. Best of all, your students or faculty can
guide the focus of the discussion with the author.

Are you interested? If so, when you adopt any of our professional books for a course
or you select one of the books for a faculty study, complete the Online Author Access
Request Form to contact us for author availability and dates.

We hope you will take the opportunity to read transcripts from prior author discussions
and examine our line of professional books.

Thank you for your interest. We look forward to hearing from you.
