As I off to ALA and there are still a few seats open in my classes, I thought I would announce that I am teaching two one credit graduate level courses in July. We schedule them back-to?ck in case anyone from out-of-town wants to come to NYC for a Children's Lit Boot camp.
SELECTING AND EVALUATING RECENTLY PUBLISHED CHILDREN'S BOOKS TEED505N This course offers the opportunity to examine a wide selection of recently published children's books in order to develop and refine participants' selection criteria. We will identify key developmental themes and discuss how to incorporate them into the language arts class and interdisciplinary studies. New books from the Bank Street Bookstore will be available for review. For librarians, teachers, and reading specialists.
Section 1, (Grades K - 4)
July 5 and 6 Tuesday and Wednesday, 9:30 am-4 pm No credit $375 / 1 credit $890 Materials fee $10 Registration Deadline 6/28
FINDING DIVERSITY IN EXCELLENT CHILDREN'S LITERATURE (Grades PreK-8) TEED629N This course examines issues of diversity in children's literature and how excellent literature can help children learn about differences such as, ethnicity, race, language, gender, class, economic status, sexual orientation, and ability. Besides identifying and defining the characteristics of a literature of inclusion, topics include sexism in the heritage of European folktales, "extra-literary" considerations such as omissions and distortions in text and pictures, helping children respond to literature, the issues involved, and how to find the best multicultural literature.
