About This Lesson
This webinar for teachers, librarians, and other educators explores how to use children’s literature and nonfiction to teach about slavery. We discuss and demonstrate with award-winning titles to support your approach in teaching this complex, under-taught period of American history, with special focus on historical accuracy and cultural responsiveness.
Katie Potter, Lee & Low’s Senior Literacy Specialist, Dr. Amanda Vickery, Assistant Professor of Social Studies Education at the University of North Texas, and Dr. Noreen Naseem-Rodriguez, Assistant Professor of Elementary Social Studies at Iowa State University, discuss different pedagogical approaches, classroom activities, and books that approach slavery in elementary and middle school spaces so that teachers, librarians, and other professionals are aware of harmful stereotypes and inaccurate information when teaching about slavery.
This webinar is hosted by Lee & Low Books.
