Students deserve texts which represent them in the classroom. But it is challenging to replace stories and authors we have “always” taught. In this workshop, you will take a text you love to teach (or have to teach) and strive to find modern pairings, alternatives, and enrichment/adaptive texts to teach alongside it. You’ll leave the session with new search strategies, text and author recommendations, and advice on how to navigate text challenges. And, because it is an ELAC session, you might just win a book giveaway!
