CLA Master Class 2020

Difficult Conversations in the Classroom

Supporting Students through Children’s Literature

The 2020 Master Class focuses upon supporting students and teachers who are navigating and/or healing from traumatic contexts.  In this session we bring together researchers and children’s authors who are a “confluence” of research and practice to support everyone in navigating challenging conversations and helping students overcome traumatic events. The panel features award winning authors Ruth Behar, Ellen Hopkins, Janae Marks, and Dan Santat.

The session has been segmented into 6 clips.

Part I: Contributor Introductions and Setting the Context and the Problem

Part II: Developing Characters who Experience Trauma


Part III: Advice to Teachers who Support Students who have Experienced or are Experiencing Trauma

Part IV: Developing an Informed Voice when Composing Children's Books


Part V: The Complexities of Incorporating Hard Topics in Children's Books

Part IV: What's Next for Book Creator Panelists & Concluding Comments
