Feb 8 @ 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm

Join us for a talk & book signing with Dr. Matthew X. Joseph for his new book Modern Mentor: Reimagining Mentorship in Education.
Many teachers think mentoring means checking a box, but its potential in education is far more inspiring. When done right, mentoring can uplift new teachers, invigorate aspiring leaders, enhance the skills of sitting leaders, and ultimately impact students now and for years to come. Education mentorship experts Matthew X. Joseph and Suzy Brooks show how being a Modern Mentor is a mindset, not just a program.
This Lead Forward Series book shares practical, timely stories and strategies for mentors, mentees, and those who lead mentorship programs. The authors answer questions such as: How can I connect with my mentor or my mentee in a way that benefits us both? How can a mentoring program convey an inspiring purpose, so teacher leaders want to join? How can I encourage peer-to-peer mentoring at my school?-How can I grow as a leader through mentoring? It’s time to be a Modern Mentor
The book Modern Mentor: Reimagining Mentorship in Education brings you the stories and strategies you need to invigorate teacher leaders and impact students through mentorship.Dr. Matthew X. Joseph has collected incredible insights on how best to support teaching and learning, and his work has led to nationally published articles and opportunities to speak at multiple state and national events. He has been a school and district leader in many capacities in public education over his twenty-five years in the field, with experiences such as being the director of digital learning and innovation, an elementary school principal, a classroom teacher, and a district professional development specialist. Matt currently serves as the director of curriculum, instruction, and assessment in Leicester Public Schools. He earned a master’s degree in special education and administration and has his Ed.D. in educational leadership from Boston College. Matt holds licenses in teaching, school administration, and MA superintendent.

Olympic Medalist & Rhode Island Native Elizabeth Beisel Book Launch: Talk & Book Signing @ Barrington Books Garden City
Feb 26 @ 6:00 pm

Join us a this special book launch event with Olympic medalist, author and Rhode Island native, Elizabeth Beisel for her new book Silver Lining. This is a ticketed event. Please call 401-432-7222 for your ticket.

I’m an ordinary person who’s accomplished extraordinary things. From a small-town girl watching the Olympic Games in my living room, to competing at three Olympic Games for the United States, Silver Lining dives deep into the journey towards achieving my dreams. I open up about the failures and doubts I experienced as an athlete just as much as the successes and certainties. I hope my story inspires you to pursue your own dreams, no matter who you are.

“Silver Lining is a story of amazing perseverance of one of the greatest leaders in our sports history. As much of a champion s she was in the pool, Elizabeth continues to be an even greater champion outside of the pool through her grace, humility, and dedication.” – Rowdy Gaines, Three-time Olympic gold medalist, NBC Olympic Analyst“

Silver Lining tells the compelling story of a spirited, energetic, honest, and extremely talented athlete and human, Elizabeth Beisel. You will be inspired, and also discover why Elizabeth is one of the most respected athletes ever to grace a pool deck for Team USA.”- Katie Ledecky, Five-time Olympic gold medalist, World Record Holder“Elizabeth wonderfully captures what it means to be an elite athlete. Her story shows the good, the bad, and the ugly that the general public doesn’t see what most Olympic athletes go through.” – Caeleb Dressel, Two-time Olympic gold medalist, World Record Holder

Elizabeth Beisel is a three-time Olympic swimmer and two-time Olympic medalist for the United States of America.

This is a ticketed event. To reserve your ticket, call 401-432-7222.
