Going DEGA!

Diversity, Equity, and Global Awareness in the Classroom Through Literature-Based Cross-Curricular Units


In the first week of October, I presented at the Illinois Reading Council's annual conference with a presentation on going DEGA in the classroom. I'm sharing an abreviated version of the presentation which unfortunately doesn't include the wonderful contributions of the audience, but it does allow you to get a clear overview of the approach.  I've also included all of the links in the presentation below.


Here are all of the links for the resources discussed in the presentation:
