NCSS Webinar on African-American Periodicals and Literature
NCSS Webinars are back. We have a four-part webinar series to kick of the series starting on Tuesday, February 2 and continuing each Tuesday evening, 7:00-8:00pm Eastern.
Anchored in both the Common Core and C3 Framework for cross-curricular approaches in ELA and Social Studies, this four-part series will be one of explication, modeling, and conversation between presenters and participants. The series will focus on the content of selected literature—both fiction and informational—to capture the concerns, aspirations, and frustrations of the the nineteenth century. It is designed for teachers to develop a new learning pathway into exploring nineteenth-century America, gain a rich resource stream of primary sources, and takeaway four exemplar units for immediately use in their classrooms.

She is a consultant for school districts and NBC News Education Nation's ParentToolkit, and lectures at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Chadwick is the author of The Jim Dilemma: Reading Race in Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Common Core: Paradigmatic Shifts, Teaching Literature in the Context of Literacy Instruction.
