Indiana State Literacy Association 2020 Conference

Learners in classrooms come in all stripes-- we have storytellers, nonfiction readers, poets, and advocates.  We also have budding writers and readers who are struggling to find their voice or their next read.  Our instruction and curriculum must be as diverse as the writers we teach and full of practical, strategic modeling and coaching.  There are simple and powerful priorities for instruction that not only grow learners but also create joyful, productive communities. Patty McGee will spend time simplifying the hardest parts of teaching and prioritizing what all literacy learners need.
