As we prepare for summer, let’s celebrate ACARC’s year of exciting professional development with engaging professional book and article talks (and pizza!). Dr Cheryl Dozier and Dr. Kelly Wissman, of the University at Albany, are returning as part of our expert panel. Dr. Dozier and Dr. Wissman will share recent favorite professional books and articles on literacy and in children’s literature. There will be opportunities for discussion and for teachers to share favorite articles or professional books as well.
Join us for pizza, and for these lively discussions on professional books and articles you might want to put on your summer reading list! This event is co-sponsored by the Literacy Teaching and Learning Department, University at Albany, and the Albany City Area Reading Council.
