Focus on Quality Content for the Classroom at 21st Century Children’s Nonfiction Conference
May 20, 2016 | By Stacey Pusey
Sally Isaacs, Co-chair, 21st Century Children's Nonfiction Conference, spoke with the AAP PreK-12 Learning Group about the conference and why education has become an integral theme of the event.
How is education represented at the conference, and why is it important?
This conference is a unique opportunity for everyone involved in children’s nonfiction – publishers, writers, illustrators, librarians, and teachers -- to talk about what teachers need and what publishers and digital developers can produce in order to meet these needs. These needs include meeting educational initiatives such as STEM, STEAM, NGSS, Common Core, and the C3 Framework.
