The Adolescent Literacy Summit will bring together secondary educators and administrators to build awareness, community, and capacity to engage the major challenges and opportunities for supporting literacy development in middle and high school.
Four featured speakers will lead us through presentations that spark discussion in small groups throughout the day. Each presentation builds on the next to illustrate the complexity with clarity to collectively connect, advocate, resist, and build toward liberatory learning opportunities. Together, we confront racism and ableism in reading instruction, calibrate our focus on preparation for higher education, re-envision remediation and support, and reconsider what counts as foundational for adolescent literacy development.
Our featured speakers will be joined by special guests, including recent high school graduates and literacy advocates for special presentations (stay tuned for more details).
