More than a third of students from low鈥慽ncome households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education.
Today's students need to read books that are representative of all experiences and backgrounds, while also being modern and up-to-date with current events. While the traditional texts like "Of Mice and Men" & "To Kill a Mockingbird" are rich in language and symbolism, the kids struggle to relate to these novels.
The goal of this project is to collect literature that can balance out the traditional texts and diversify our classroom novels. "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime" will join books "Dear Martin", "We Are Not From Here", and "Internment" to create a diverse literature circle selection.
