Check out this Vlog from Cornelius Minor, exploring the connection between literacy and social justice.
During our Summer Literacy Institute from July 12-15, Cornelius and Kass Minor will further explore your role as a literacy educator in enacting change through the lens of anti-racism, kids, and books. Participants will leave this live institute with concrete ways to think about how to connect reading to students’ lives, communities, and aspirations. Learn more and register here!
For literacy coaches, this is a powerful moment – the chance to move from introductions and early connections into purposeful collaboration that will carry the year forward.
