About this Event

(3 PDPs) Learn how to share picture books that celebrate and accurately reflect Indigenous histories and identities. Participants will explore our special book installation Entwined Memory: Indigenous Stories of Creation, Place, and Continuity, consider criteria for sourcing and selecting books, and discover strategies for engaging young readers in productive, informed conversations about Indigenous cultures. Participants will also receive booklists and other resources for building a more equitable, inclusive book collection.

A limited number of workshop spots are free for preschool teachers and elementary teachers in Title 1 Schools through The Carle Community Fund. Scholarships are awarded at random and offered on a quarterly basis. Application deadline is June 15.
