For Teachers

As a former adult continuing ed instructor, Sherrilyn is a staunch supporter of education. This section was created to help teachers wishing to add the Chronicles of Nick series to their curriculum. If you have any questions or would like to book Sherrilyn to speak to your class or at your school, please contact our staff. While Sherri’s schedule is packed, she will do whatever she can to work out an appearance with schools. Sherri doesn’t charge for appearances.

Sherri is able to speak on several key issues facing students. And if you’d like to read about some of her personal stories, please see the About Sherrilyn section

We’ve also provided Discussion Guides, Lesson Plans, Teacher Prep Guides, Worksheets and Labs for your use. **Please note that the Discussion Guides will all contain spoilers for anyone who hasn’t read the book.

If you are a teacher who lives and works in the US and would like copies of the CON books to review, please email
academic@macmillan.com. Please specify which of the Chronicles of Nick book you’re interested in. The Macmillan Academic division will be more than happy to help.

Below we have the files for our Anti-Bully and Reading is Fun posters that we make available for schools free of charge.

If you’re outside the US, please contact the publisher for your country which can be found on the International page.

Thank you!
