Global Literacy Invitation Project introduces 3rd- 6th grade teachers to quality children’s literature that supports global learning and connections. Teacher participants are introduced to the Global Literacy Invitation teaching strategy and examine ways in which their students can participate in an open-ended investigation that extends the theme of the book into other areas and subjects, including technology, science, math, music, and art.
The Global Literacy Invitations is a strategy refined by Leana McClain, Senior Clinical Lecturer Emerita and co-led with Vesna Dimitrieska. The following units support this project:
- African Studies Program
- Center for Latin America and Caribbean Studies
- Center for the Study of Global Change
- Center for the Study of the Middle East
- East Asian Studies Center
- Institute for European Studies
- Inner Asian and Uralic National Resource Center
- Robert F. Byrnes Russian and East European Institute
