Full Session Description (as long as you would like): This session will review the way the Common Core reading suggestions are biased and not made with the goal of creating more globally aware students.  In this session we will go over what to look for in some alternative reading selections that are chosen with a world view.  Additionally, we will interact with participants and work to find some alternate reading selections together so that participants will go away with specific suggestions as well as tools to globalize the reading selections their students interact with while still fulfilling the focuses of the Common Core.
