Using a Young Adult Novel to Enhance Self-Awareness and Dispel Stereotypes


Jim Jacobs, former teacher and author, will present an interactive, risk-free workshop on the use of his young adult novel, No Ordinary Season, to meet ISBE's social-emotional learning standards. Each participant will receive a copy of No Ordinary Season, along with a brief study guide that plugs the novel's themes into the existing curriculum. Participants will receive a copy of the book at the workshop. (Fee includes copy of the book.)
