Secondly, for a long time, I have been plotting an accessible training program and network for those interested in instigating change and educational equity through children's literature, but it seemed to me that I would be irresponsible in starting such a program without answering the very question you posed, and I could only answer the question honestly by participating in a program. So I sought out the very best program I could in my circumstances (UIUC LEEP program) and tried to approach it with an "empty cup," assuming, as I always do, that teachers have something to share and I would come out better for it either way. Finally, "If you don't feed the teachers, they eat the students"(Neila Connors). I was hungry, too! I'm happy to keep those neurons firing, and make the most of being in a country where a woman is free to study!<br /><br />I do happen to agree with you that a passion for children's literature is an education in itself, and is a subject deserving of a rigor and focus that is rarely fully recognized or realized in a university or formal setting. On the bright side, I am learning about cataloging, preservation, and both the inspiring history and the current climate of librarianship and literacy and the new shifts towards digitization and technology. I am encountering some of the most exceptional, kind, brilliant and inventive classmates I could hope to meet. And I am learning exactly what it is I have to offer that formal programs do not, taking the time to envision ways that the worlds of librarians, teachers and enthusiasts might converge and all receive the consideration they deserve to do their best work, and look forward to sharing it through this blog and in future live retreats/intensives/programs ASAP. (Which I hope you'll be a part of! ;-)Esme Raji Codellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04517767178981635423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24418123.post-68256973429003227152010-01-02T19:20:17.178-06:002010-01-02T19:20:17.178-06:00Esme,

I have been considering this for some time, but thought a passion for children's literature could overcome the need for formal education.
