More than a year and a half ago, our team came together and asked ourselves what could be helpful for Ts as they develop a more intentional, culturally responsive, and antiracist literacy practice. And based on our work w/ kids, we arrived at these core principles. #DisruptTexts

How can educators incorporate diverse books into their curriculum? How can parents be supportive allies?
For #BannedBooksWeek, visit the #EdCast archives with @TchKimPossible of @DisruptTexts to embrace diverse books in libraries and schools.
