• LIVE: 11/16/2026
• 4 hours

LIVE Discussion Session: November 16, 2026 from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM

Course Description: Have you ever wanted to share your union passion with your students? New academic standards in Economics and Career Education & Work expand the academic standards relating to labor rights, history, and unions beyond their presence in the History and Civics & Government standards. Children’s literature highlights these themes and presents a cross-curricular way to integrate learning through literacy (and nostalgia with older student groups). Join your PSEA union siblings in reading and discussing five (5) picture books that highlight labor rights and union history by selecting one book from curated lists around the following themes: Fun Fiction, Labor History, Cross-Curricular Integrations, Kids Organizing, and The Fight for Child Labor Laws. While this book study is designed for teachers and school librarians, anyone who works in schools can benefit from this union-celebrating book study. Learning Hours: 100 minutes to read (20 minutes per book), 80 minutes for online discussion and reflection activities, and 1 hour for participation in the live discussion for a total of 4 Act 48 hours or a certificate of completion.

Presenter: Dr. Gina L. Gullo, Ed.D., M.Ed.

Learning Hours: Members who complete this book study course receive 4 hours of Act 48 and/or a certificate that may apply for Chapter 14 hours. Your employer has sole discretion to determine if this course qualifies for Chapter 14 hours.
