| Title | Online Summer Course in Latin American Children's Literature |
| Body | From http://www.uwm.edu/Dept/CLACS/outreach/americas.html Announcing a new summer online course from The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Current Topics in Curriculum & Instruction: Using Childrens Literature to Explore Latin American/Latino Cultural Heritage 3 undergraduate or graduate credits June 26 - August 5, 2006 Given that Latinos make up the fastest-growing population group in the U.S. , classroom teachers increasingly are in need of meaningful resources and learning strategies for students of Latin American heritage. These same resources can also help internationalize/diversify classrooms serving non-Latino student populations. This course will focus primarily on children's books that have been recommended by the Américas Award for Children's and Young Adult Literature, sponsored by the national Consortium of Latin American Studies Programs (CLASP). When read and explored as a body, together with supplemental readings/resources, Américas Award titles offer a unique resource with which to explore Latin America, Caribbean, and U.S. Latino cultures in all their diversity. For more information on course content, contact jkline@uwm.edu Information about the Américas Award: http://www.uwm.edu/Dept/CLACS/outreach/americas.html To register: Contact UWM Education Outreach, 579 Enderis Hall, 414-229-5255; educout@uwm.edu (Summer registration begins April 14.) |
