July/Aug: The Caldecott Medal

Beginning July 15, 2013

The Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) is pleased to offer a variety of quality online education courses.  All courses will run between four and six weeks and will be taught in an online learning community using Moodle.  All courses are offered asynchronously (self-directed) meaning you won't need to logon at a specific time.

To sign-up for an upcoming course, visit the ALA registration website.  Course space is limited.

The Caldecott Medal
(6 weeks)  For almost 75 years, the Caldecott Medal has been a sign of superior artistry and creativity in children’s picture books, given to only one book every year.  With so many children’s picture books published each year, how is the Caldecott Medal winning book selected?  What makes picture book illustration distinguished, and how has that definition changed over time?  Learn about the history of the award, how the award has transformed books over time, and how to look critically at picture book art.
Instructor: Kathleen T. Horning, Director, Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC), University of Wisconsin-Madison
