An approach to literacy for ALL students
Educators, leaders, and literacy advocates come together for a dynamic conference designed to elevate reading instruction and promote meaningful, student-centered teaching. The event features experts in research-based literacy practices, culturally responsive pedagogy, and approaches that integrate social justice and equity across all content areas.
Through interactive workshops, model lessons, and collaborative discussions, participants will explore effective strategies for building inclusive instruction and creating learning environments where all students thrive. A key focus of the conference is the purposeful use of diverse texts that showcase a wide range of voices, experiences, and perspectives—allowing students to see themselves and connect with the world in meaningful ways.
The conference also features sessions led by contemporary authors of diverse literature, giving participants the opportunity to learn directly from writers as they share their stories, perspectives, and creative processes.
Educators will be equipped with practical tools, refreshed inspiration, and a deeper understanding of how high-quality literacy instruction and equity-driven teaching work together to enrich classrooms and expand opportunities for every learner.
