[Lisa Von Drasek <lisav@BNKST.EDU>]

I am teaching two one credit graduate level courses in July. We schedule
them back-to-back in case anyone from out-of-town wants to come to NYC
for a Children's Lit Boot camp.

SELECTING AND EVALUATING RECENTLY PUBLISHED CHILDREN'S BOOKS TEED505N
This course offers the opportunity to examine a wide selection of
recently published children's books in order to develop and refine
participants' selection criteria. We will identify key developmental
themes and discuss how to incorporate them into the language arts class
and interdisciplinary studies. New books from the Bank Street Bookstore
will be available for review. For librarians, teachers, and reading
specialists.

FINDING DIVERSITY IN EXCELLENT CHILDREN'S LITERATURE (Grades PreK-8)
TEED629N
This course examines issues of diversity in children's literature and
how excellent literature can help children learn about differences such
as, ethnicity, race, language, gender, class, economic status, sexual
orientation, and ability. Besides identifying and defining the
characteristics of a literature of inclusion, topics include sexism in
the heritage of European folktales, "extra-literary" considerations such
as omissions and distortions in text and pictures, helping children
respond to literature, the issues involved, and how to find the best
multicultural literature.
