Resources for Educators
One way that the KU Common Book program engages students with the book is through coursework. This requires collaboration with faculty and instructors to integrate the book and its themes into assignments and curriculum. The resources on this page can be used by faculty and instructors to teach the book in the classroom.
Our partners across campus have helped compile the resources below. If you have additional resources to highlight, please reach out to commonbook@ku.edu.
