Sharon Vaughn, a professor at the University of Texas who studies reading problems and instruction, is slated to present a free, telephone-mediated session on reading for adolescents with reading problems. The dial-in conference is sponsored by the Institute for Literacy and Learning, and it occurs 19 August 2008. The slides for the presentation are already available.
The Institute for Literacy and Learning hosts a series of these events. Recently, Randy Sprick presented a session on discipline. Shari, Randy, and the other presenters in the series of sessions are for-real experts, so these are pretty valuable opportunities. Take advantage of them!
