While interest from teachers in having critical conversations with students is growing, they nonetheless face challenges. These tensions reflect a larger world of social and political unrest, where our nation's schools are often caught in the middle.This work aims to equip educators with tools to facilitate critical conversations with students - to question what they read, consume, and hear. \u003ci\u003eReading to Belong: Identity, Perspective and Advocacy in the Elementary Grades \u003c\/i\u003ebridges the gap between research and practice by sharing snapshots of conversations happening in real classrooms.
