The elementary literacy coaches have planned our second annual Summer Literacy Institute on August 19th-21st. This year, we’re offering eighteen different courses that will stimulate your teaching brain for a new year with students AND earn you SACs. Check out all of the choices here. Sign-ups will be coming from Central Office shortly!
