With special guest Melissa Marks (Professor of Education, University of Pittsburgh, Greensburg)

Picture books are a great way for students to investigate diverse perspectives in history and build literacy skills. Join us for practical ideas about using inquiry, critical thinking, and diverse books in your classroom.

Dave Eggers, best-selling writer, editor, and publisher will join us along with illustrator Shawn Harris to discuss their book What Can a Citizen Do? The book is inspiring young students across the country to participate in the civic life of their communities. We’ll also be joined by teachers who are using the book in their classrooms to help students take informed action in their communities.
