In this episode I interview Elizabeth Evans, the Manager of Regional Programs at the Bill of Rights Institute, based in Gilbert, Arizona. She is an award-winning teacher with 17 years of experience teaching the social sciences, including 8th-grade civics, AP U.S. History, and AP Government. Elizabeth tells us all about her experiences using children's literature as a means of access for all students as well as a way to bring students Into conversations about topics they may not otherwise have the vocabulary or knowledge to feel comfortable joining. You'll leave the podcast with some strategies and suggestions for your classroom!
