Welcome to the accompanying website for our Skokie School District 73.5 2018-19 Professional Development session on multicultural and culturally relevant literature: "Representation Matters!"

Here you will find additional resources to help you on your journey to transform your classroom library and the way you think about children's and young adult literature.

We would like to thank Laura Beltchenko for inspiring this session by leading her own session that we attended last year. We borrowed many important resources from her, and we are very appreciative of her knowledge and expertise in this field!

Please let us know if you have any follow up questions or feedback!

Thank you,

Tori Gammeri, McCracken Middle School Librarian

Amy Kelley, Meyer Early Childhood School Librarian
