Curating Empathy: School Libraries at the Heart of Diversity and Accurate Representation in Social Studies Classrooms

As underfunded schools look for ways to support social studies instruction and support classroom efforts to better represent their communities, school libraries are a powerful ally for students, families, staff and teachers. Join two school librarians who have worked closely with social studies teachers, experts and advocates to improve the cultural representation within their libraries and classrooms. Be prepared to engage in interactive lesson ideas as we share best practices and resources with one another.
