Deborah Hopkinson is the author of more than 45 books for young readers, including picture books, middle grade fiction, and nonfiction. In her presentations at schools and conferences, she helps bring history and research alive, and provides applications for STEM, STEAM, and Common Core.
Come hear Hopkinson present "Be a History Detective: Helping Young Readers Think Like Historians," and discuss some of her new books, such as The Great Trouble, Courage & Defiance, and Keep On!
The discussion will be followed by a Q&A session, dinner, and lesson demonstrations by Erin Yetter, senior economic education specialist, on using two of Hopkinson's books—Sky Boys and Saving Strawberry—to teach economics. Teachers will receive a certificate for 2.5 hours of professional development credit.
There is no fee, but you must register by March 3. Complimentary parking is provided.
