#readwoke ... using books to make an impact, inspire, and promote healing.
This workshop is for all... grade levels, disciplines, areas of specialties, administrators, educators, parents, anyone interested in fueling change!
I will showcase exemplar books, resources, and lesson ideas that can be used in order to spark conversations with students of all ages that fall into the #readwoke movement inspired by founder, Cicely Lewis. (See
School Library Journal article)
#readwoke operates under the following tenets:
- Challenge a social norm
- Give voice to the voiceless
- Provide information about a group that has been disenfranchised
- Seek to challenge the status quo
- Have a protagonist from an underrepresented or oppressed group
Dive in deeper as we explore tough conversations about why it is so important that every student feels seen-- and is seen!
