In collaboration with Immaculata University, this annual full day conference promotes effective literacy strategies for PreK-6 educators to facilitate student learning and promote the highest levels of thinking. This year we focus on reading strategies.
Agenda:
8:30am Sign In Loyola Hall
9am Featured Speaker Mary Anne Buckley presents: Integrating Social, Emotional, and Literacy Learning
Social and emotional skills are essential for communication and understanding. Explicitly teaching skills such as empathy and perseverance can help build communities that have engaging conversations, respectful debates, and productive collaborations. Teachers will learn how to teach and embed these social and emotional skills into their reading and writing workshops.

She is the author of Sharing the Blue Crayon: How to Integrate Social, Emotional and Literacy Learning (Stenhouse Publishers 2015).
