Written by award-winning Black British children's author Sharna
Jackson, Black Artists Shaping the World celebrates the diversity
of work being produced today by Black artists from around the
globe, introducing young readers to twenty-six contemporary artists
from Africa and of the African diaspora. Sharna Jackson's
experience as a children's author who has worked for over a decade
in the cultural sector, both at Tate in London and at Site Gallery
in Sheffield, is combined here with the curatorial expertise of Dr
Zoe Whitley, Director of London's Chisenhale Gallery and co-curator
of the landmark Tate exhibition 'Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age
of Black Power'. Their book features artists working in a variety
of media from painting, sculpture and drawing to ceramics,
installation art and sound art. Artists featured include British
Turner Prize-winning painters Lubaina Himid and Chris Ofili;
renowned South African visual activist Zanele Muholi; Nigerian
sound artist Emeka Ogboh; Sudanese painter Kamala Ibrahim Ishag;
Kenyan-British ceramicist Magdalene Odundo; African-American
artists Kerry James Marshall, Faith Ringgold, Amy Sherald and
Kehinde Wiley; performance artist Harold Offeh; and moving image
artist Larry Achiampong. The result is a refreshingly contemporary
celebration of Black artists at work today that will serve as
inspiration to a new generation of aspiring young artists. Winner

Becoming a Teacher of Writing in Elementary Classrooms nurtures
teachers' identities as writers, connects to the realities of
writing instruction in real and diverse classrooms, and encourages
critical and creative thinking. This text is about writing
instruction as a journey teachers and students embark on together.
The focus is on learning how to teach writing through specific
teaching and learning structures found in the Writing Studio:
mini-lessons; teacher and peer conferencing; guided writing; and
sharing, celebrating, and broadcasting writing. Pedagogical
features include teaching structures and strategies,
"Problematizing Practice" classroom scenarios, assessment
resources, and a Companion Website. Because a teacher who views him
or herself as a writer is best positioned to implement the Writing
Studio, a parallel text, Becoming-writer, give readers space to
consider who they are as a writer, their personal process as a
writer, and who they might become as a writer.
