Read.Write.Act Virtual Conference
Call for Presenters

For over 20 years, through a dynamic partnership between campus and community, SCALE has developed leaders who are agents of social change. Each year, SCALE hosts the Read.Write.Act Virtual Conference, which connects college students at campus based literacy groups from around the country with content specialists, community-based literacy organizations and other leaders in literacy who are committed to creating a more just society by engaging young people in literacy education. This year, SCALE will hold its fourth virtual conference from November 8th-10th, featuring web-based presentations related to the theme Weathering the Storm: Sustaining Literacy Education in a Changing Climate.

SCALE is currently seeking proposals for presentations during the Read.Write.Act Virtual Conference. We invite you to submit a proposal for a workshop here. The deadline for submission is September 16, 2011.

SCALE is asking that presentations during this year’s conference fall under one or more of the following strands: Research & Theory, Resources, Program Practice & Models. For more information about each of these strands and to see a complete list of suggested topics as well as descriptions of past presentations, please visit the SCALE website.
