For 20 years, through a dynamic partnership between campus and community, Student Coalition for Action in Literacy Education (SCALE) has developed leaders who are agents of social change. Each year, SCALE hosts the Read.Write.Act. Conference, which brings together people from around the country who are committed to creating a more just society by engaging young people in literacy education. SCALE will hold its third virtual conference from November 16th-18th, featuring web-based presentations on a variety of topics relevant to literacy leaders, researchers, and students.
The deadline for submission is
August 15th, 2010 at 5 PM.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Adult Literacy
- Advocacy
- Assessment/Evaluation
- Child Literacy
- Civic Engagement
- Community Partnership
- Diversity
- Policy
- Program Management
- Service Learning
- Social Justice
- Sustaining a Program
- Tutor Techniques/Training
- Volunteer Recruitment
- Youth Leadership
If your workshop is selected, SCALE staff will work with you to transform PowerPoint presentations, handouts, and activities into Elluminate online presentations. Presentations will be reviewed as they are received and selected presenters will be notified on or before September 30, 2010. We suggest co-presenting, and encourage faculty/student teams and collaborations with community partners.
We realize that for many of us, this is a new way to share knowledge with the field. We encourage both experts and novices to submit proposals and promise technical support to those trying something new! If you would like to discuss
how to incorporate online interactions, we would be happy to discuss it with you.
