Literacy Academy to
Focus on Understanding the Reading and Writing Connection
To
help schools or districts enhance students' ability to use text to
master subject area content and to express their thinking by writing
about their learning, ASCD is offering The Literacy Academy. The academy
will provide both large-group and "job-alike" opportunities for
educators to learn how to use reading and writing to increase student
learning of content, while honing students' ability to get meaning from
text and to communicate that learning through writing. The academy will
be held July 21 to 24, 2008, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Find out more
