April 4 | Duncan McArthur Hall | 511 Union Street West
The Queen's Faculty of Education is excited to be working with our community to offer workshops on literacy. Open to all teachers working in schools and current students, these workshops hone in on issues in literacy from working with exceptional student populations, to reading interventions in intermediate grades.
There are two workshop time slots from 1:30- 3:00 and from 4:30- 6:00. Attendees are welcome to come for one session or stay for the afternoon. We have a Literacy Networking and Literacy Fair running from 3:00 -5:00 where you can chat with your colleagues, meet local literacy organizations, and enjoy some refreshments.
The Community of Practice Events are professional development sessions which share expertise from our alumni working in schools, our faculty researchers, and leaders in our broader education community.
Register for the event on eventbrite.
