UBC K-12 Literacy and Language Professional Community of Learners 2021

This is an invitation for Kindergarten to Grade 12 (K-12) educators across Canada to join a monthly Zoom conversation starting September 2021 to June 2022. 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 leading the monthly conversations (see below for the initial list of topics). Once the group has initially met, we will survey the members for a more personalized list of topics. Sessions will follow a similar format where there will be a brief presentation by a university expert(s) 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. Registration will be limited to the first 60 teachers that register. There will be a waitlist.
