Shaw, Louise J.; Marx, Michele; Arnold, Jackie Marshall; Sableski, Mary-Kate
Journal of Children's Literature, v46 n1 p43-48 Spr 2020
The Children's Literature Assembly (CLA) Master Class in the Teaching of Children's Literature session, currently in its 26th year, provides opportunities for those who teach in university settings to share experiences related to teaching children's literature in the university and discuss contemporary trends and issues in the field of children's literature. The 2019 Master Class focused on the importance of viewing cultural experiences through the lens of personal narrative (Florio-Ruane & deTar, 2001, p. 55) and addressed using children's literature to provide an opening for cultural narratives and gaining new perspectives. This article offers summaries of each session presentation.
