Reviewed by Deborah Menkart

Review Source: Rethinking Schools
Book Author: Zetta Elliott

Milo's Museum by Zetta Elliott is a beautifully illustrated, empowering story of a young girl (Milo) who is excited to go on a school field trip to a museum. Her grandfather explains, "Museums hold all the things that people feel are valuable or important." Imagine how Milo feels when she finds the museum offers little to no representation of African American history. Her follow up conversations with family members help give language to her frustration (and that of the readers'.) They also inspire her to take matters into her own hands, becoming the curator and docent of her own museum. At the end of the story, Milo changes the name of her museum to "The People's Museum" when her friends ask her if they could incorporate items from their community into the museum.

This story opens the door to age-appropriate conversations with young children about representation, institutional racism, youth activism, museum studies, lessons from family, and community engagement. It is also one of the all too few books that describes youth activism supported and informed by elders-instead of in opposition to or in isolation of adults.

Teaching Idea: Make your own museum!

Ask students to make a list of the things that tell a story about who they are.

What objects reveal your strengths?

Have you ever won a trophy or prize?

Is there something you loved when you were younger but have since outgrown?

What are your prized possessions?

What art have you created?

Ask students to talk to the elders in their families-parents, grandparents, uncles, and aunts.

Ask them to share photographs and heirlooms that tell a story about their family (an heirloom is something precious that gets passed down from one generation to the next).

Has your family ever migrated from one place to another?

What objects help you celebrate your family's culture(s)?

Ask students to think about the story they want to tell.

Have your family members overcome any challenges?

What makes you proud to be part of your family and/or your community?

Find a space in the school where they can display their precious objects.

Teaching Stories

Milo's Museum Project for First Grade

First graders in Melissa Somerville's and Jessica Jones' classrooms at Inspired Teaching Demonstration PCS read the book Milo's Museum by Zetta Elliott in preparation for the Black Lives Matter Week of Action, discussed the book, and then created "museum pieces" that represent the change they want to see or something that shows how they feel when they think about people being treated unfairly. CONTINUE READING.

Milo's Museum Read Aloud

At Mundo Verde Bilingual PCS, first grade students in Ms. Dani and Mr. CJ's class began their morning meeting with a read-aloud of Milo's Museum. CONTINUE READING.

Publisher's synopsis: Milo is excited about her class trip to the museum. The docent leads them on a tour and afterward Milo has time to look around on her own. But something doesn't feel right, and Milo gradually realizes that the people from her community are missing from the museum. When her aunt urges her to find a solution, Milo takes matters into her own hands and opens her own museum!

This is an amazing book for reconsidering how we grade in schools.

Excellent for incorporating student agency and voice in our grading practices

Cultivating Genius: An Equity Framework | The Scholastic Teacher Store

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
In Cultivating Genius, Dr. Gholdy Muhammad presents a four-layered equity framework-one that is grounded in history and restores excellence in literacy education. Muhammad’s Historically Responsive Literacy Framework is essential for all students, especially youth of color, who traditionally have been marginalized in learning standards, school policies, and classroom practices. The framework promotes four learning goals-or pursuits: ��� Identity development; defining self; making sense of one’s values and beliefs ��� Skill development; developing proficiencies through reading and writing meaningful content ��� Intellectual development; gaining knowledge and becoming smarter ��� Criticality; developing the ability to read texts to understand power, authority, and oppression When these four learning pursuits are taught together-through the Historically Responsive Literacy Framework- all students receive profound opportunities for personal, intellectual, and academic success. Muhammad provides probing, self-reflective questions for both teachers and students as well as bibliographies of culturally responsive text and sample lesson plans across grades and content areas.

The classic, groundbreaking analysis of the role of race in the classroom and a guide for teaching across difference, from the MacArthur Award-winning educator

"Phenomenal. . . . [This book] overcomes fear and speaks of truths, truths that otherwise have no voice." -San Francisco Review of Books

In this groundbreaking, radical analysis of contemporary classrooms, MacArthur Award-winning author Lisa Delpit develops the theory that teachers must be effective "cultural transmitters" in the classroom, where prejudice, stereotypes, and assumptions often breed ineffective education. Delpit suggests that many academic problems attributed to children of color are actually the result of miscommunication, as primarily white teachers educate "other people's children" and perpetuate the imbalanced power dynamics that plague our system.

Now a classic of educational thought and a must-read for teachers, administrators, and parents striving to improve the quality of America's education system, Other People's Children has sold over 150,000 copies since its original publication. Winner of an American Educational Studies Association Critics' Choice Award and Choice magazine's Outstanding Academic Book Award, this anniversary edition features a new introduction by Delpit as well as important framing essays by Herbert Kohl and Charles Payne.
