SELECTING AND EVALUATING RECENTLY PUBLISHED CHILDREN'S BOOKS (Grades
Pre K-4) 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. Gain an understanding of how children's
books are published, reviewed and become selected as award winners such
as the Newbery Medal, Bank Street College's Best Books of the Year and
American Library Association Notable Children's Books. We will also
examine publishing trends such as celebrity books, diversity titles,
graphic novels and high-interest reading for boys. New books from the
Bank Street Bookstore will be available for review. For librarians,
teachers, and reading specialists.
