  • Promoting Equity in Children's Literacy Instruction: Using a Critical
    Volume 12, 2009 Approved December 2009 ISSN: 1523-4320 www.ala.org/aasl/slr Promoting Equity in Children’s Literacy Instruction: Using a Critical Race Theory Framework to Examine Transitional Books Sandra Hughes-Hassell, PhD, Associate Professor, School of Information and Library Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Heather A. Barkley, MLS, School Library Media Coordinator, Dixon Road Elementary School, Willow Spring, North Carolina. Elizabeth Koehler, Master's Student, School of Information and Library Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The purpose of this study was to examine books that support transitional readers to determine the representation of people of color. The findings were analyzed using critical race theory (CRT), a theoretical framework that places race at the center of educational research and discourse. The results indicate that despite the increasing ethnic and racial diversity in the United States, children of color are rare in transitional books. Even rarer are authors of color. The authors conclude that this lack of representation of people of color in transitional books is a subtle form of racism that denies children of color the kinds of resources research suggests they need to become motivated, engaged, and proficient readers. In the tradition of CRT, the article closes by offering nine strategies school librarians can employ to promote equity in literacy instruction for children of color. “Who says black boys won’t read?”— Sharon Flack, 2007 Introduction Reading scores among African American, Hispanic, and American Indian fourth graders significantly lag behind those of White and Asian American children.

    Sharon M. Draper TeachingBooks Original Movie Transcript Sharon M. Draper, interviewed in her home in Cincinnati, Ohio, June 19, 2007. This is a transcript of the movie available on TeachingBooks.net. It is offered here to give you a quick assessment of the program topics, as well as to enable people with auditory disabilities access to the words. Because this is a transcript of an edited movie, it should not be used as an assessment of Ms. Drapers writing. Many of the sentences found here were edited, and all editing decisions are the sole responsibility of TeachingBooks.net. I was not dreaming of becoming a writer. As a writing teacher, I would pass out papers and pass out assignments, and I had this young man who gave me a contest application. And he actually challenged me. He said, “Youre always making us write stuff. Why dont you write something sometime.” So I went back, typed up the story, sent it in. Several months later I was informed I had won first prize. It was published in Ebony magazine in December of 1990 —a long time ago. On Writing Im an English teacher. I think as a teacher first and a writer second. So, I purposefully put symbolism and figurative language and metaphor, and all of the things that I would ask a student—as a teacher—to find in a book. I knew what appealed to teenagers. I knew what kinds of books turn teenagers off. And I wanted to write something that would grab them and would get them, so I decided to write a book in a multi-genre format.

  • My Friend Dahmer 2017
    My friend dahmer by Marc Meyers based on the graphic novel by John Backderf OVER BLACK: When I was a kid, I was just like anybody else. -Jeffrey Dahmer FADE IN: A DEAD CAT on the side of the road. Flies swarm around. Cars pass. Then, a thunderous rumble. The large tires of a PENCIL YELLOW SCHOOL BUS approach and come into focus. EXT. COUNTRY ROAD, OHIO - AFTERNOON (1977) - ESTABLISHING The bus barrels down the two-lane blacktop, cutting through the wooded countryside. JEFF DAHMER, 16, gazes out the window. His blank face is hidden behind WIRE-RIMMED GLASSES and SHAGGY, TOWHEADED HAIR. His eyes track the roadkill as the bus drives past. INT. SCHOOL BUS - CONTINUOUS Full of jabbering TEENAGERS. Awkward freshman sit closer to the front. Cooler kids own the back rows. In a middle row, Jeff is by his lonesome. Three average teenagers in the row directly in front of him play Twenty Questions: PIMPLE FACE Is it a person? BOWL CUT Yes. FRECKLE FACE Is the person living? BOWL CUT Yes. PIMPLE FACE Is the person famous? BOWL CUT Sort of. The Bus driver grips the steering wheel as the bus hits a cluster of potholes. Everyone bounces, but no pause to the antics. 2. JOHN “DERF” BACKDERF, 17, sits in the front. He has a subversive confidence. Already resigned to his band-nerd status, he no longer gives a shit. He RIPS OUT a page from his pad: DERF Dang it. The bumpy ride ruined his cartoon. He starts a new sketch that mocks the Bus Driver clenching the steering wheel: BUS DRIVER Calm down in the back.

    Coretta Scott King Book Awards Historical Timeline The founders of the Coretta Scott King Awards, 1969–1970. Left to right: Glyndon Greer, Mabel McKissack, and John Carroll. 1969 The Coretta Scott King Book Award was established by Glyndon Flynt Greer, a school librarian in Englewood, NJ; Mabel McKissack, a school librarian in New London, CT; and John Carroll, a book publisher. From the inception, the award was designed to commemorate the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and honor Coretta Scott King, for her courage and determination to continue the work for peace and world brotherhood. 1969 During the first year, four other librarians joined the founders: Harriet B. Brown, New York City Board of Education; Beatrice James, President of the New Jersey Library Association; Roger McDonough, New Jersey State Librarian; and Ella Gaines Yates, Assistant Director, Montclair (NJ) Public Library. 1969–1973 During the early stages of development, the New Jersey Library Association, the Englewood Middle School and the Dwight Morrow High School served as sponsoring organizations of the Award. 1970 The inaugural Coretta Scott King Book Award was presented to Lillian Patterson for her book, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr: Man of Peace at the New Jersey Library Association Annual Spring Conference in Atlantic City, NJ. 1970 Since the beginning, the Johnson Publishing Company presented the honorarium for the winning author, ending that relationship in 2010. Basil Phillips, photographs archivist and conference coordinator for the company, played an instrumental role in advocating for this long standing alliance. 1970–1971 The first two awards’ ceremonies were held at the New Jersey Library Association Annual Spring Conference in Atlantic City, NJ.
