The International Children’s Literature Workshop is a virtual professional development workshop series for K-12 educators, librarians, and children’s literature enthusiasts in the wider community. This year’s theme — Teaching Global Visual Storytelling — celebrates the contributions of genres including graphic novels, manga, and comic books to the richness of literature from around the world, and provides recommendations on how such genres can support K-12 students of all reading levels and abilities on their path to becoming global citizens. Please note that each of the workshops will be offered virtually. Registrants will receive Zoom links for each webinar the week before each session.
During our final webinar, we will hear from a panel of comic book experts, educators, and enthusiasts who will share their own experiences creating and utilizing comics in their classrooms. Tools that attendees can integrate into their own classroom curriculum will be also be shared. The panel will be moderated by Dr. Kate Van Haren, a social studies educator from Pittsville, Wisconsin.
