More about me:
My approach allows each person in my class to find books specially tailored to their needs as teachers, readers or parents. I show my students how to use the many library references and indexes and other resources to comb through children's literature and find "exact fit" books for any topic, any child, any special need. I embed all the tools I demonstrate into the class projects, and help my students build text sets that truly nurture inquiry learning and the wider imaginative needs of deep learning. There are no big papers to write for this class, it is all about delving into genre, special children's lit and young adult lit topics, building text sets and examining the professional journals that can enhance and enlighten critical inquiry into children's and adolescent's literature. There are so many ways to develop text sets to strengthen math, science, history and interdisciplinary teaching.
I teach as a very hands-on teacher and learner who honors process learning. I would love to hear from you.
