N EVER MISS A REVIEW!

Our mission

The mission of the Language Learner Literature Advisory Board (LLLAB) is to provide well-rounded feedback about Classroom Library material as it pertains to race, ethnicity, cultures, social class, gender, sexual orientation, gender expression, age, religion, family structure, neurodiversity, abilities, and experiences. The board is composed of a group of diverse members that are well-advanced in their field and can provide trustworthy information to help dismantle social inequalities and support teachers and authors in developing and curating culturally-sustaining reading material.

We are committed to (un)learning and welcome feedback and suggestions for honoring and validating everyone's identities, experiences, and realities.
Acknowledgements
At LLLAB, we situate our work in a bigger movement in literature and education-or rather, a series of movements-aimed at improving the quality and thoughtfulness of books, the accountability of authors, and the education of readers. We recommend following these hashtags:

The idea that multiple identities intersect to create a whole identity. These identities that can intersect include gender, race, social class, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, religion, age, mental disability, physical disability, mental illness, and physical illness as well as other forms of identity. These aspects of identity are not mutually exclusive. Each element or trait of a person is inseparably linked with all of the other elements.

Note: Human Right and Equity Services acknowledges the concept of intersectional discrimination/harassment and recognizes that people's lives involve multiple interrelated identities, and that marginalization and exclusion may exist because of how these identities intersect.

Including diverse voices is a priority in K-12 classrooms, and we've developed a unique model to make it easier: Reading Diversity. (This model may look familiar: It's a new version of an existing tool called Appendix D.)

Traditionally, tools that aid text selection have focused on quantitative and qualitative measures like complexity, word and sentence length, cohesion, language features and knowledge demands. But these tools do not include diversity and representation, critical literacy, or reader and task as part of the selection criteria.

Reading Diversity is different. This model promotes a multi-dimensional approach to text selection that prioritizes critical literacy, cultural responsiveness and complexity.

We have designed two versions of the Reading Diversity model as two editable PDF tools educators can download, complete, save and share.

The first debate between President Donald Trump and Democratic Party nominee Joe Biden will take place on Tuesday, September 29 - exactly five weeks from Election Day on November 3 - at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio.

Topics, which were determined by the debate's moderator , s Chris Wallace, were announced on Tuesday. Each topic will have a 15-minute time segment dedicated to it with a total of 90 minutes assigned for the entire debate.

The topics Wallace has picked for the candidates to discuss include:

Trump's and Biden's records;

The Supreme Court;

The coronavirus pandemic;

The economy

"Race and violence in our cities"

The integrity of the election itself.

The topics are not set in stone, however, as the Commission will allow for changes to happen if events between today and next week warrant their discussion in the first debate.

Both Trump and Biden will likely tell you they're the best candidate in terms of each of the topics listed - but in terms of polling, on most of the issues it appears that, as of this moment in the campaign season, the incumbent president has a lot of ground to make up.

Trump does better than Biden on the issue of the economy, according to a recent /PBS NewsHour/Marist poll . On that topic, only 43 percent of voters think Biden could do a better job than Trump, whereas 50 percent of voters give Trump higher marks.

But the president fares much worse, compared to his Democratic challenger, on a number of the other issues that are set to be discussed at next week's debate. On race relations, for example, 56 percent of Americans think Biden would be a better leader, while only 35 percent say that Trump would be.

On how the two candidates would handle the coronavirus pandemic, Trump again fares worse than Biden. Only 39 percent say the current president would do a better job on the issue, but 52 percent say Biden would do better at responding to the crisis that has seen more than 200,000 Americans die so far under Trump's watch.

Overall, according to the /PBS NewsHour/Marist poll, when asked who they would vote for today, respondents favored Biden by a margin of 10 percent, with 52 percent saying they'd vote for Biden versus 42 percent who say they'd back Trump.

Of course, national polling data does not give us a clear indication of who will win the election, as the Electoral College is the true determiner of who will serve as president for the next four years starting at noon on January 20 next year. On that measure, however, according to some forecasters, it's still not looking great for Trump , with 42 days left until Election Day.

In spite of those predictions, Americans overall are not confident about who is going to win the presidential race. According to , just 39 percent believe Biden will win in November, with 40 percent saying Trump will go on to a second term in office.

In short, both candidates are likely looking at the debates, beginning with the first one next week, as being important in helping them to win in the end - even if, as some observers have noted , debates don't actually do much to shape the outcome of an election.
