2023/2024 UBC K-12 Literacy and Language Professional Community of Learners

Join the K-12 Literacy and Language Professional Community of Learners

Hosted by Dr. Melanie M. Wong, University Colleagues, and K-12 Colleagues

This is an invitation for Kindergarten to Grade 12 (K-12) educators across Canada to join a monthly Zoom conversation starting September 2023 to June 2024. The focus of this Literacy and Language Professional Community of Learners is to share research and best practices. We ask that our K-12 colleagues try to commit to the majority of the conversations. A number of topics will be discussed with university experts and K-12 educators leading the monthly conversations (see below for the initial list of topics). Sessions will follow a similar format where there will be a brief lightning talk by a university expert(s) and K-12 colleagues followed by breakout sessions (which will include discussion around the topic, discussion on how the research shared can be applied to practice, and hands on activities). The goal of this community of learners is to build our collective understandings of best practices on a range of topics with regards to literacy and language education.
