Join Dr. Miranda Belarde-Lewis (Zuni/Tlingit), Dr. Michelle H. Martin, and SAM Educators for an interactive professional development workshop focused on getting students excited about Native art and reading! Read-a-Rama uses children's and young adult literature paired with music, movement, and hands-on activities to improve literacy while also encouraging social-emotional growth.
Facilitators will highlight Native artworks and share how to use artwork and books as a springboard for hands-on activities that build cultural competence and cultural humility in students from all backgrounds. Every participant will choose a free book to take home.
This workshop includes resources and Washington State Clock Hours. Kâ12 educators, paraeducators, subject area coaches, and administrators are welcome.
Tickets
Free with RSVP required.
