CNUSDEdChat

In this inspiring episode, Pam Allyn, global literacy advocate, author, and education expert, discusses the importance of the classroom library. Students should be able to authentically see themselves in the books we provide for them. Literature must act not only as mirrors, but as windows to the outside world. Allyn believes that our human diversity is a blessing to all, and books can serve as windows to places and perspectives that students might not experience otherwise. Literacy is a fundamental human right.
