Call for Proposals, Read.Write.Act Virtual Conference

Posted by on March 24, 2013

The Student Coalition for Action in Literacy Education

READ.WRITE.ACT.
The mission of SCALE is to mobilize and support college students and campus-based programs to address the literacy needs of this country. Through a dynamic partnership between campus and community, SCALE develops leaders who are agents of social change

In this year’s Read.Write.Act Virtual Conference, we will be exploring how literacy can be applied to various social justice themes.  As such, we are looking for presenters to discuss how literacy can move beyond the classroom and be applied to other issues to promote justice and equality across society.

As always, we also welcome and encourage proposals about specific teaching techniques, and we ask that presenters indicate how these techniques can have wider applications. For example, if discussing techniques for teaching ESL grammar, suggest ways to apply this to other issues through application and contextual-based activities.  Literacy is everywhere- let’s explore its importance across society!

What: Beyond the Classroom: Applying Literacy to Promote Equity. Have a cool research project or program you want to share?  Submit a proposal for the virtual poster session!
Where: Virtual Conference 2013
When: October 31st- November 2nd
Contact SCALE at scale@unc.edu or 919-962-1542 if you have questions or would like to discuss your ideas. We are happy to help!
