We live in global societies and our K-12 classrooms are often global microcosms. As teachers across disciplines and age groups, how do we best acknowledge the diversity that

already exists while incorporating a variety of global perspectives and texts?

Hemispheres is partnering with Kurt Wootton, founder of lab school Habla and the ArtsLiteracy project at Brown University to provide creative, interdisciplinary strategies for teaching and learning through texts across world regions. Kurt’s expertise in literacy development will help us reframe how to incorporate varied texts across disciplines in a way that forges community, integrates the Arts, and builds students actively invested in their own learning.

This workshop will be capped at 30 participants, and educators who register by June 2nd will receive a stipend of $100 to cover mileage and parking costs at UT campus. Participants are eligible for up to 5 CPE credits.

Workshop includes: Coffee, lunch, and optional guided tour of the Harry Ransom Center’s children’s literature exhibition “Words and Wonder” from 3pm-4pm
