ABOUT
This website and our K-12 Literacy Conference (collectively, the “Gathering”) is a free to view, no registration, online conference day intended for educators who serve K-12 students. Our particular focus is on literacy, however sessions often reach the broad spectrum of literacy learning and support including writing workshop, reading workshop, education technology, social justice, content area literacy, family engagement, and more. The conference is great for classroom teachers, aides, coaches, building and district leaders and education advocates.
The sessions for the Gathering are presented live and pre-recorded, at two online conference days each year, and then archived on our YouTube.com/TheEdCollab page for future viewing.
