Dr. Mira Reisberg gave us a lovely presentation filled with ideas on how to use critical children’s literature to discuss “hard” topics with students. Wonderful ideas on how to integrate art into the community and encourage involvement. Just fantastic!

Dr. Reisberg is incredibly knowledge about picture books and how to link them to art lessons. She has incredible lesson ideas – especially those that connect local community to art
Sarah Leahy – Collins Elementary School, Schaumburg, IL
Mira did a fabulous job. I wish we had more time to explore what she has done. There was so much information… I loved the PowerPoint. This was one of the best meetings we had all year.
Jill Hoffman – Aldrin Elementary School, Schaumburg, IL
Mira’s presentation showed her passion for diversity. Her connections to literacy through visual picturebooks were entertaining and relevant! One of the best in-services we’ve had all year!
Donna Wilkinson – Hoover Elementary School, Schaumburg, IL
This teacher in-service was a lovely review for me – looking at my ancestors gives me pride. Reminding myself of my gift of art gives me pride as well.
Colleen O’Donnell – Art teacher, Phoenix, AZ
Mira Reisberg presents a powerful workshop concerning multicultural issues coupled with art education. Through high interest content (self) and media (cartooning) teachers learn how to develop an ethnic awareness that integrates language, social studies, and the visual arts in a child-centered project using everyday art supplies accessible to all educators.
