| Abstract: | Poetry provides opportunities to explore the universal and common experiences that connect us as human beings. When teachers infuse poetry into their classroom, it can foster compassion, develop interdisciplinary connections, and support literacy instruction. However, not all teachers use poetry in their classroom either because they are not aware of the value of poetry or because they have not had positive experiences with poetry. Given the importance of sharing poetry with today's youth, educators must feel confident in evaluating well-written poetry and how to weave poetry from award-winning poets to support interdisciplinary connections. "Celebrating Poetry Across the K-12 Curriculum" aims to ensure that poetry for children is not neglected as part of the curriculum, and to help educators feel more confident in their understanding of children's poetry, its relevance to children's lives, and its importance to supporting pedagogical connections. Featuring interviews with well-known poets, this resource also showcases the latest pedagogical and scholarly research supporting the integration of poetry in the K-12 classroom. Covering topics such as science content, romanticism, and diversity recognition, this book is an excellent resource for educators, classroom teachers, literacy specialists, librarians, professionals, researchers, scholar, academicians, and more. |
