The Power of Picture Books in Student Identity Gr 2-6 *IN PERSON* presented by Sarah Cordove / Literacy Matters – 8:30-2:30pm

In order for our students to feel valued in our classrooms they must be represented in the books we share with them. Whether it is the characters, families, cultures, and settings on the pages of our read alouds or the author’s experiences that inspire the picture books we share, our students need to feel represented and heard. Our mentor texts can be more than simply books we use to teach writing strategies and skills. These texts can also be tools to showcase and celebrate the lives of the students that sit before us and those who do not. This session will showcase culturally responsive picture books that contain a multitude of opportunities for minilessons within your writing instruction, bringing excitement and inclusivity into your classroom. Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. Can use 1 Consortium seat. If district pays, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.
