My Project

I want to strengthen the diversity of my classroom library. I want to provide high-quality literature to my students that have main characters that come from diverse backgrounds. I want students to walk in the shoes of characters who are different from themselves to see the world from their perspective. I want the minority students in my classroom to have books that contain characters that look like them and come from similar backgrounds.

I believe having a diverse classroom library will help teach my students about acceptance and empathy.
