DIVERSITY 

Audit:

Dec 2021 - The recording of From Diversity to Inclusion: How to Audit Your Collection and Why is now available: https://youtu.be/vzK0dL_QSC0.  Slides can be found at: https://bit.ly/DA_12_21.
 
Kymberlee Powe, Children and YA Consultant for the Connecticut State Library Division of Library Development, dives into the makeup of the publishing industry. You will learn how to identify the difference between a diverse collection and an inclusive one and walk through the logistics of performing a diversity audit of your collection. The examples and resources provided in this session will focus on youth collections; however, the methodology of performing a diversity audit, and the reasons to do so, are universal to all collections.
 
This presentation is brought to you by the Connecticut State Library, in collaboration with the Indiana State Library, the Library of Michigan, and the State Library of Ohio.

​THE STUDENTS’ SIX: STRATEGIES FOR CULTURALLY RELEVANT TEACHING

At the heart of The Students’ Six strategies is the idea that students have a lot to teach teachers when it comes to addressing issues like race, racial justice, racial dynamics, and cultural sensitivity in the classroom. We’ve developed a process to help that teaching happen. It’s a process drawn from from research-based strategies that have been proven effective with students of color.
