From graphing the emotion of a character in a picture book over the course of the story to observing how things in natural scientific phenomena change over time, behavior-over-time graphs are great for every subject and for behavior support for students as well. See how 1st grade boys use a causal feedback loop to solve a playground problem. Teachers will leave with a systems thinking toolkit that includes kinesthetic lessons, Habits of a Systems Thinker cards, a Star Wars sound machine, and a picture book of their choice. Don't miss this opportunity to learn how to use visual thinking tools with your students.

Integrating Multiple Perspectives in Classroom Literacy Practices
Wednesday March 26, 2025 1:05pm - 2:30pm MST
John E. White Elementary School
Feedback Survey
The presentation focuses on the importance of incorporating culturally and linguistically varied resources into literacy education. It highlights the risks of presenting a "single story," which can narrow students' understanding of the world and themselves. The framework emphasizes using literature as windows, mirrors, and doors—allowing students to see themselves, understand others, and explore new possibilities. By building empathy, reducing invisibility, and expanding representation, educators can foster a more complete learning environment. The presentation also offers practical tools for evaluating children's literature to ensure varied and authentic representation of cultures, identities, and languages, encouraging critical thinking and broadening perspectives in young learners. The target audience is Elementary educators.
