About the Workshop

Do you find yourself drawn to telling stories and using books as a way to connect and understand the children and teachers in your classroom? How do you set up your environment so that your classroom community is inclusive and comfortable to be as you are? How can we customize our familiar books and props so that they are relevant, knowledgeable and in synchronization with the modern world? How can we use children's books and stories to approach potentially overwhelming and complex topics in a respectful and inclusive way?

If these questions are of interest to you, join our workshop for some wonderful examples of how stories and books have brought a community closer together through trials, tribulation and triumph!

What We Will Cover

In this workshop, we will share tips and practical ways to use props and other tools to expand on the use of books. We will offer ideas on organizing usable libraries and choosing quality books. Come join us in this interactive unique experience!
