CLA Grants and Awards and Summer Hiatus Announcement

6/7/2022

 

By Xenia Hadjioannou, Lauren Aimonette Liang & Liz Thackeray Nelson

Picture
As yet another unusual school year is drawing to a close, we remain grateful for all the teachers who worked through novel challenges, who never lost sight of their students as humans with curiosities and the desire to learn, and who continued to share all kinds of books with them. Books that spoke to who individual students are and affirmed and bolstered their identities, books that allowed them to glimpse ways and experiences different than their own, and books that fed their wonderings and offered well-researched information about the world. Books they would have picked up anyway but got to experience and think about with others through their classroom communities, and books they would have never read if it weren't for a teacher or a librarian setting them in their hands.

As you are shifting to your summer rhythms, we hope that you will be afforded time for rest and rejuvenation and that you will find plenty of fascinating new reads for both your personal and professional reading stacks.
  • If you are looking for recommendations for wonderful new works of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry written for children, check out our 2022 Notable Children’s Books in the Language Arts.
  • You will also find plenty of recommended titles and connected curricular ideas right here on the CLA Blog.  Simply click on the Archive links on the right-hand menu to access our posts in chronological order or the Category links for a thematic search.
  • Another rich professional learning resource for your consideration is the Journal of Children's Literature, whose current and past issues are available to CLA members through our Website.

If you are a CLA member, we also encourage you to consider applying for one of the CLA grants and awards to support your professional activities for the coming academic year.
  • If you are a college student who is planning to attend the 2022 NCTE Convention, consider applying for the Vivian Yenika-Agbaw Student Conference Grant (Deadline July 1, 2022)
  • If you are an educator of any level who is planning a professional learning experience in literacy education, consider applying for the Bonnie Campbell Hill National Literacy Leader Award (Deadline August 15, 2022)
  • If you are planning to do research related to children's literature, consider applying for the CLA Research Award (Application and Deadline information will be available shortly)

Information about the three awards and how to apply can be accessed below.

Happy Summer to all and we look forward to "seeing" you in the fall when the CLA Blog returns!

Warmly,

Xenia, Lauren and Liz
