Join Dr. Jeanne Fain as she explores the reality of many teachers tirelessly grappling with topics of text selection, evaluation, and comprehension under a mandated scripted curriculum. The purpose of this webinar is to examine elements of diversity, quality, and kid appeal to empower teachers to select titles for classrooms through a critical lens and draw upon teachers' knowledge around implementation of global texts with a focus on comprehension and “teaching within the cracks.”
