It is the first day of the semester in a junior-level preservice teacher course, and 40 students sleepily shuffle in and choose spots at a table with their safety blanket—their friends. As I announce to not get too settled, I am met with muffled groans. The groaners will discover that collaboration, group discussion, and relationships are central to learning and that those principles structure this course. Book clubs are the vehicle to drive this deep student-centered learning.
