Beyond Silos: Justice-Minded Conversations and Collaborations Across Contexts and Spaces
Sat, April 26, 11:40am to 1:10pm MDT (11:40am to 1:10pm MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Terrace Level, Bluebird Ballroom Room 3ESession Type: Symposium
Abstract
Book banning and censorship in the U.S. prompts necessary conversations on how critical literacy, dialogue, and inquiry are used pedagogically in school and library settings. By collaborating with school and public librarians, ELA teachers can provide engaging learning experiences that meet the needs of individual students and feed their curiosities while teaching required research skills. Developing an empathic analysis, students can engage in this critical work within classrooms and libraries, where reading diverse texts is encouraged. Therefore, this panel will share various perspectives on the what, why, and how ELA educators, media specialists, and teacher educators move beyond their silos to form collaborative partnerships for the purpose of affording justice-oriented spaces in classrooms and libraries.
