Read.Write.Act. 2017: Empowering Communities through Literacy
Literacy can serve as a powerful tool for communities by providing a means for participating in advocacy and civic engagement. The Read.Write.Act 2017 Virtual conference will focus on this connection. We are interested in proposals that provide models of civic and community engagement through literacy-especially those that focus on social justice. Additionally, we are seeking proposals that provide specific teaching techniques based on best practices for community-based literacy groups and organizations that use learner centered and participatory approaches. Finally, the proposals are not limited to the topics of reading and writing but may be expanded to include other forms of literacy (e.g. digital literacy, math literacy, health literacy, financial literacy, etc.).
