Virtual Election Day K-8 Educator Workshop: Mirrors, Windows, and Doors: Affirming Asian American Experiences through Children’s Literature

Join MOCA and Make Us Visible (NY Chapter) for a virtual half-day dedicated to strengthening literacy instruction in your Social Studies, English Language Arts, and Humanities classrooms in culturally affirming ways. Throughout the day, educators will:

• Analyze a range of fiction and non-fiction texts that give voice to the manifold experiences of Chinese Americans, as well as old classics that fall short.
• Explore how to choose books which reflect students’ identities and lived experiences, support students’ social-emotional learning, and meet curricular goals.
• Reflect on the balance of voices in their own classrooms.

Participants who attend the full day will receive 3.5 CTLE hours. FREE, but registration is required! This program will take place on Zoom. Recommended for educators of students in grades K-8.
