Julie Kline (Center for Latin American & Caribbean Studies)


  Given that Latinos make up the fastest-growing population group in the U.S., classroom teachers increasingly are in need of meaningful resources and learning strategies for students of Latin American heritage. These same resources can also help internationalize/diversify classrooms serving non-Latino student populations.
  This course will focus primarily on children's books that have been recommended by the Am?ricas Award for Children's and Young Adult Literature, sponsored by the national Consortium of Latin American Studies Programs (CLASP). When read and explored as a body, together with supplemental readings/resources, Am?ricas Award titles offer a unique resource with which to explore Latin America, Caribbean, and U.S. Latino cultures in all their diversity.
