Creative Response to Literature
Creating a culture of literacy means empowering both students and staff to see themselves as advocates for reading and learning.

You’ll learn how to strengthen comprehension in any subject area and at every grade level, discover ways to engage staff as literacy leaders, and access tools and approaches that make literacy visible and valued throughout the school.
