CERCLL PROJECTS

WOW STORIES: VOLUME VIII, ISSUE 2

Through a CERCLL project, Worlds of Words (WOW) offers grants for Global
Communities--groups of educators that meet regularly to consider global
literature, world languages, and ways of using these books in preK-12
classrooms. We are excited to announce that the most recent issue of
WOW's peer-reviewed journal (WOW Stories: Volume VIII, Issue 2)
describes the work of some of these communities over the last year. 

>From project director Dr. Kathy Short's introduction:
"This issue of WOW Stories: Connections from the Classroom includes
seven vignettes that highlight seven global literacy communities located
in rural and urban communities in different regions across the U.S. and
in elementary, middle school and high school contexts. Each community
consists of educators committed to the use of global literature with
students and with explorations of language and culture across global
contexts, often in response to the diversity of students in their
communities and schools."
