Finding the Light: Social Justice Awareness Through Children’s Literature

Participants in this 90-minute workshop will explore the developmental continuum of language and literacy as tools to gain insight into the continuum of social justice. Hands-on activities will model differentiating instruction in social justice exploration while supporting readers in engagement, comprehension and language-to-print skills and processes. Participants will leave with resources and ideas to plan rich literacy experiences that support their students’ developing concepts of equity inclusion and diversity including the intersection with social justice.
