Literacy Lagniappe Tip #5: Opportunity to Attend Virtual Conference

Hi Everyone,

I would like to share an opportunity for you to attend a free, virtual conference February 3 - 5, 2009. Please see the information below if you would like to sign up for a session. Your fellow Literacy AmeriCorps member, Adrian McGrath and I will be doing a session on the creation of the Literacy Lagniappe blog and how we have used it as a communication tool to share literacy resources and activities.

Happy reading!
Hazel


Read. Write. Act Conference
This year, in order to reduce our carbon footprint and reach more participants, SCALE decided to offer our annual Read.Write. Act. Conference as a “virtual” event. The registration for this year’s event will be FREE! We see this year as a pilot event and hope you will join us to explore new ways to learn and come together as a community.

A few things about registration:
Go to the link on our website and register. http://www.readwriteact.org/rwa/registration_2009.htm
Set aside time at work, school, or home to participate in webinars on February 3rd, 4th, or 5th.
Next week, we will send you a survey and ask you to sign up for individual workshops on one or all of the days.
Workshops will be scheduled between 11am and 6pm EST.
After you return the workshop survey, we will send you links to the events you’ve selected and participant “how-to” attend basics.
We look forward to learning with you at SCALE’s first Read.Write. Act. Virtual Conference!

The mission of SCALE is to mobilize and support college students and campus-based programs to address the literacy needs of this country. Through a dynamic partnership between campus and community, SCALE develops leaders who are agents of social change.

At St. Charles YES! we already have a learner questionnaire as part of the intake process and it is just like the one from Hazel Parkers and Literacy Alliances procedure to learning. I am really looking forward to working with the few students I have to San Diego Quick Assessment at my site to work on speech impediments commonly confused with accents. On the other hand, compression as a bottom line, will be my focus with a student of mine when administering the Timed oral reading test. My first goal is just to get through it and then go from there.
