Find Your Spark #WEMTA 2023

It’s crucial to look at texts, displays, and resource lists with an eye toward positive representation, diversity, inclusiveness, and impact for the needs of your learners while also considering personal / organizational biases and missing representation. We can no longer be satisfied with only providing the same old books and perspectives, or supporting teachers in doing so. In this session, we will follow-up on the keynote by looking at overarching methods and specific strategies for using a critical lens to analyze books. This will be a working session to get resources & start using them, analyzing books, and building order lists.
